IOS 6 Storyboard rotation doesn't work as expected

Question

I'm developing an iOS6 App with storyboards and i'm encountering an unexpected beahviour. My app is almost in portrait mode , and i would keep this orientation in all the views except two.For this reason the project supports both landscape and portrait mode, i've subclassed navigation controller with a category (as explained almost everywhere :-)in Appdelegate.m and every view controller implements

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
 return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait; (landscape where needed)
}

and

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
return YES;
}

Everything seems to work well except the fact that in the transition between a landscape view to a portrait one (not vice versa ?) , all the elements of the ui are displayed in landscape(imagine that you're keeping the phone horizontal), if you turn the phone , the rotation event is fired, the ui turns back in portrait and only now is locked to this orientation.Is there a way to fire the rotation BEFORE the view is presented? Why the shouldAutorotate is not called at the ViewWillAppear stage?

Thank you!

Remove both the above function and try this it should work

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
    {
         Return YES for supported orientations

    }

if still it's not working then try this change the appDelegate

[window addSubview:nav.view];

to this code

 window.rootViewController=nav;

I've removed the functions and the definitions in AppDelegate.m but this function is never called and the ui is not locked to the desired orientations. – Tullio Onion Sebastiani Jun 03 '13 at 09:45

I found this online chapter very good for explaining UIViewControllers and rotation.

http://www.apeth.com/iOSBook/ch19.html#Rotation

It s a big page, scroll down to Rotation.
