Setting orientation in iOS 7

I have th e following code in my uiviewcontroller.m file:

-(BOOL)shouldAutoRotate
{
    return YES or NO;
}

I have tried both YES and NO but my view controller still rotates? I am using iOS 7 and the other iOS solutions I found aren't working for me either.

It probably happens because your controller instantiated as child of UINavigationController in view hierarchy. The UINavigationController does not query child controllers if they want to be rotated or not.

I had the same issue; I wanted to disable autorotation, so all hierarchy of particular UINavigationController is locked in Portrait. I ended with this class:

@implementation FixedOrientationNavigationController

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return NO;
}

@end

which I put instead of UINavigationControllr class in Storyboard for hierarchies which I need to lock Portrait. Just this, I do not need to implement shouldAutorotate in each controller.

You may also check this link: Orientation Respectful UINavigationController, it tries to implement "orientation respectful" UINavigationController. It works, but in some cases it leads to weird results, for example, when user rotate to Landscape and then go back to the controller which should only support Portrait.
