objective c - Prohibit rotation in iOS 8 for UIModalPresentationCustom modalPresentationStyle

Question

I use this to present a clearColor UIViewController in iOS 8:

 self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCustom;
 [_rootViewController presentViewController:self animated:NO completion:nil];

In this UIViewController I set

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
  return NO;
}

But I can rotate this viewController when self is presenting, When I use self.modalPresentationStyle =UIModalPresentationCurrentContext it will not clearColor but can not rotate. For UIModalPresentationCustom style how to prohibit rotation?

Answer 1

I also tried to present a clear color UIViewController in iOS 8+ choosing UIModalPresentationCustom but failed to prohibit autorotation.

What worked for me was using UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen instead and the autorotation methods worked as intended:

UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen

A view presentation style in which the presented view covers the screen. The views beneath the presented content are not removed from the view hierarchy when the presentation finishes. So if the presented view controller does not fill the screen with opaque content, the underlying content shows through.

Available in iOS 8.0 and later.
