Pass rotation event through UIWindow and UIViewController

Question

Here is psuedo code for my tweak

SBSearchViewController vcont = ...;
UIWindow window = ...;
[window retain];
window.windowLevel = 9999*9999;
window.hidden = NO;
window.rootViewController = vcont;
[window addSubview:vcont.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

When there is a rotation event the keyboard successfully rotates but the actual contents of the UIWindow does not. This is a common problem but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Remove this line:

[window addSubview:vcont.view];

Did you also assign the window to a `strong` property? If you don't retain the window it will be deallocated immediately – John Estropia Jan 30 '14 at 06:19
Didn't work. I'm using SBSearchGesture to do the animations/rotation – twodayslate Jan 30 '14 at 06:42
