{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"On iOS, statusbar orientation should be used instead of device orientation","articleBody":"In `application.ios.ts`, the orientation should be coming from the status bar, not the device. On iOS, `UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation` describes the orientation of the device, and is of type `UIDeviceOrientation`, while  `UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarOrientation` describes the orientation of the interface, and is of type `UIInterfaceOrientation` (a type which doesn't include FaceUp or FaceDown as orientations). \n\nThe following is the line which should be changed to grab interface orientation from  `UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarOrientation` rather than `UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation`\nhttps://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/blob/master/application/application.ios.ts#L180\n\r\n\r\n\u003cbountysource-plugin\u003e\r\n\r\n---\r\nWant to back this issue? **[Post a bounty on it!](https://www.bountysource.com/issues/30201124-on-ios-statusbar-orientation-should-be-used-instead-of-device-orientation?utm_campaign=plugin\u0026utm_content=tracker%2F12908224\u0026utm_medium=issues\u0026utm_source=github)** We accept bounties via [Bountysource](https://www.bountysource.com/?utm_campaign=plugin\u0026utm_content=tracker%2F12908224\u0026utm_medium=issues\u0026utm_source=github).\r\n\u003c/bountysource-plugin\u003e","author":{"url":"https://github.com/speigg","@type":"Person","name":"speigg"},"datePublished":"2016-01-25T22:03:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":13},"url":"https://github.com/1437/NativeScript/issues/1437"}
