iPad: [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds returns wrong co-ordinates

Question

[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds returns (0,0,768,1024) even when the iPad is in Landscape mode.

It should return (0,0,1024,768) but instead it returns (0,0,768,1024).

What could be wrong?

Commissariat

When are you pulling the CGRect with the erroneous values? Before/during/after the rotation animation? – Sharkey

This chap had a similar problem. Can you do like him and get bounds from a better-behaved object? – Reconsider

@Sold Out Activist: I am launching the app in landscape mode so it is before rotation.So Rotation is not involved in this. – Commissariat

Note that on iOS 8, the behavior has changed so that the value returned by bounds does depend on the orientation. – Rupee

Answer 1

Nothing's wrong. This is how it works unfortunately.
