I never get notified when device rotation is in .PortraitUpsideDown

I have the following method inside my only ViewController.

override func willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation(toInterfaceOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientation, duration: NSTimeInterval) {
    println("willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation")
    super.willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation(toInterfaceOrientation, duration: duration)

    switch (toInterfaceOrientation) {
    case .Portrait: println(".Portrait")
    case .PortraitUpsideDown: println(".PortraitUpsideDown")
    case .LandscapeRight: println(".LandscapeRight")
    case .LandscapeLeft: println(".LandscapeLeft")
    case .Unknown: println(".Unknown")
    }
}

And I enabled all possible orientations in the project settings

Settings

But even if I rotate 360 in the simulator (same goes for my iPhone), I never get ".PortraitUpsideDown" printed in the console. Why? It almost seems, like Apple doesn't allow this rotation.

You need to specifically return portrait upside down in supportedInterfaceOrientations() in your base UIViewController

The method implementation should look like so.

override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> Int {
    return Int(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.All.rawValue)
}
