iPad Orientation Not working as it should

I have released an app, and for some reason only some people are having an orientation issue with the app. Namely that it is opening in Portrait mode, and is un-rotatable from here where as the app is set up to only be allowed in LandscapeLeft and LandscapeRight. Most people aren't having this issue, however I've received a few complaints recently through our support page.

People with the issue seem to be on iOs 5.1 and iPad gen 1s, which is the lowest OS my app supports.

Here is the code handling the rotation:

   - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
   {
       if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
       {
           return YES;
       }
       else
       {
           return NO;
       }
   }

And here is the .plist

Any suggestions would be great.

In iOS5, you must override the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // support all interface orientations
    return YES;
}

This method was deprecated as of iOS 6, for which you should use these:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    // return whether autorotation is supported
    return TRUE;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    // return the mask that represents the supported interface orientations
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}

Finally, I'll mention this method, since it's often applicable:

- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
    // set the preferred orientation of view controllers presented in full-screen
    return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
