wrong interface orientation or unknown

The problem is this:

I put the simulator in landscape
I start the app
The app is unable to detect the correct orientation, always unknown!

I have created a sample project that demonstrates the problem I have. Take it here

How can I solve that?

thanks

It's a simulator bug. report it to Apple: bugreport.apple.com

I agree. If it works fine on a device I would chalk it up as a simulator bug. I noticed a bunch of quirky orientation behaviors in the simulator that were not repeated on the device.

I cannot test it on the real device because there's no iPad in Europe. Is there something that can be done to circumvent this problem, so I can continue developing this app?

+2 A:

This isn't a bug; just use the interfaceOrientation property of your UIViewController to get the current orientation. That property is always set at app startup.

I recently wrote a blog post on this issue:
