iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations

IosObjective CIphoneXcodeIpad

Ios Problem Overview


I'm trying to submit my universal iOS 9 apps to Apple (built with Xcode 7 GM) but I receive this error message for the bundle in iTunes Connect, just when I select Submit for Review:

> Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations: 'UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight'. Found 'UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown' in bundle 'com.bitscoffee.PhotoMarks.iOS'.

My app has support for Portrait and PortraitUpsideDown orientations but not for the other two.

So is there a workaround for this imposed requirement, or all iOS 9 iPad apps have to have all four orientations?

Solution 1 - Ios

iPad Multitasking support requires all the orientations but your app does not, so you need to opt out of it, just add the UIRequiresFullScreen key to your Xcode project’s Info.plist file and apply the Boolean value YES.

Solution 2 - Ios

In Xcode, check the "Requires Full Screen" checkbox under General > Targets, as shown below.

Solution 3 - Ios

I am using Xamarin and there is no available option in the UI to specify "Requires full screen". I, therefore, had to follow @Michael Wang's answer with a slight modification. Here goes:

Open the info.plist file in a text editor and add the lines:

<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>

I tried setting the value to "YES" but it didn't work, which was kind of expected.

In case you are wondering, I placed the above lines below the UISupportedInterfaceOrientations section

<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>
<array>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
</array>

Hope this helps someone. Credit to Michael.

Solution 4 - Ios

as Michael said,

Check the "Requires full screen" of the target of xcodeproj, if you don't need to support multitasking.

or Check the following device orientations

  • Portrait
  • Upside Down
  • Landscape Left
  • Landscape Right

In this case, we need to support launch storyboard.

Solution 5 - Ios

Unchecked all Device orientation and checked only "Requires full screen". Its working properly

Solution 6 - Ios

Go to your project target in Xcode > General > Set "Requires full screen" (under Hide status bar) to true.

Solution 7 - Ios

As Michael said check the "Requires Full Screen" checkbox under General > Targets

and also delete the 'CFBundleIcons-ipad' from the info.plst

This worked for me

Solution 8 - Ios

You need to add Portrait (top home button) on the supported interface orientation field of info.plist file in xcode
