in iOS7 how do you stop the First viewcontroller autorotating?

I have an app that just needs one screen to autorotate, the first and last screens should be portrait. I can get the last screen to stop rotating using:

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

But this does not work on the first screen, I am using a storyboard with a UINavigationController (I'm thinking that may have something to do with it?)

Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks

you may need to subset the UINavigationController and you should use it instead of the standard UINavigationController.

I have done this in my projects, so this cares of the individual UIViewController classes' custom orientations:

.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UIOrientationController : UINavigationController { }
@end

.m

@implementation UIOrientationController

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return [self.topViewController shouldAutorotate];
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return [self.topViewController supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}

@end

NOTE: you can extended this class with overriding more methods, if it becomes a requirement in your final code.
