I have been struggling to try to get UIViewControllers to display with the correct orientation of my app (landscape mode) for my JUCE 3.07 iOS app for over a week. Time to ask for some help! The problem is demonstrated with the code below, based on HelloWorld iOS project (rename Main.cpp to Main.mm and paste in the code below). For JUCE iOS apps that are in landscape mode, all UIViewControllers (not just UIActivityViewController) display in portrait orientation, despite the rest of the UI being dispalyed in landscape. Even subclassing a viewcontroller to control the shouldAutorotate method doesn't help, even though the orientation methods are being called.
I have made a simple iOS (non-JUCE) single-view app as a sanity check and it works correctly.
What could be under the hood in JUCE causing this problem? I believe others have run into it as well, so perhaps we can sort this out...
Thanks-
Steve
