i'm developing an ipad app, in that i setted the application aspect ratio to landscape and auto orients true in application descriptor xml, like this
<!-- The initial aspect ratio of the app when launched (either "portrait" or "landscape"). Optional. Mobile only. Default is the natural orientation of the device -->
<aspectRatio>portrait</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
By default my application loads in landscape view, but when user holds the ipad in "Landscape_Left" view i.e ipad-home-button facing left hand side of the user, then the splash screen rotate to "Landscape_right" it looks upside down. Then the user have to rotate the ipad 180 degree to see the app in straight view, this happens every time while opening the application. I can't able to prevent the app from rotating to DEFAULT Landscape view, i tried setting the orientation to ROTATED_LEFT in preinitialize but its rotating to DEFAULT then to LEFT.

Is there any fix for this issue ?. Its rotating even before the Application constructor is invoked.
