If the device is already in landscape position it will start as landscape, but if you want your program to work always in landscape position and never flip to portrait, you have to set the orientation to landscape in each class you create:

     - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {

return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape || interfaceOrientation ==       UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
    }

That's not possible. iPhone apps always have to start in Portrait orientation. Any game you see that has landscape-only display is still starting showing a portrait default image and the root view controller then can be landscape-only.

On iPad you can restrict the app orientation to Landscape and also have it start in Landscape.

The iPhone restriction is enforced by Apple and they won't approve an iPhone app that restricts itself to Landscape start.
