iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations

📱🔀 iPad Multitasking Support: Understanding Orientations and Common Issues

So, you're all set to submit your universal iOS 9 app to Apple, but you've encountered a pesky error message in iTunes Connect regarding iPad Multitasking support and orientations. Don't fret! We're here to help you navigate through this challenge and find an easy solution. Let's dive in! 💪🏻

🔍 Understanding the Error Message When you try to submit your app for review, you receive an error stating: "Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations: 'UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight'. Found 'UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown' in bundle 'com.bitscoffee.PhotoMarks.iOS'."

🔧 The Orientation Requirement Here, Apple is specifying that iPad Multitasking support necessitates support for four orientations: Portrait, PortraitUpsideDown, LandscapeLeft, and LandscapeRight. The error message arises because your app currently only supports the Portrait and PortraitUpsideDown orientations.

🤔 Is There a Workaround? The good news is that there is a workaround to meet Apple's requirements without having to support all four orientations. 🎉

📝 Step-by-Step Solution

1. Open your Xcode project and go to your app's target settings.

2. Locate the "General" tab and scroll down to the "Deployment Info" section.

3. Uncheck all the checkboxes under the "Device Orientation" subsection.

4. Manually add the necessary orientations by modifying your app's info.plist file.

💡 Tip: To add the necessary orientations to your info.plist file, you'll need to include the following key-value pairs under the "Supported interface orientations (iPad)" section:

• Portrait (UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)

• PortraitUpsideDown (UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)

• LandscapeLeft (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft)

• LandscapeRight (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)

🚀 The Final Step After making these changes, try submitting your app for review again. This time, you should be able to bypass the previous error message and proceed smoothly.
