iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations

I'm trying to submit my universal iOS 9 apps to Apple (built with Xcode 7 GM) but I receive this error message for the bundle in iTunes Connect, just when I select Submit for Review:

Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations: 'UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight'. Found 'UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown' in bundle 'com.bitscoffee.PhotoMarks.iOS'.

My app has support for Portrait and PortraitUpsideDown orientations but not for the other two.

So is there a workaround for this imposed requirement, or all iOS 9 iPad apps have to have all four orientations?

Tested 100% Working Latest Solution

info.plist file in a text editor and add the lines

<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>

under General > Targets, check the "Requires Full Screen" checkbox

you can specify all of them in you info.plist

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
 ...

 <key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
 <array>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
 </array>
 <key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>
 <array>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
 <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
 </array>

 ...

or like the others only

<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>

You need to add Portrait (top home button) on the supported interface orientation field of info.plist file in xcode

I am using Xamarin and there is no available option in the UI to specify "Requires full screen". I, therefore, had to follow @Michael Wang's answer with a slight modification. Here goes:

Open the info.plist file in a text editor and add the lines:

<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>

I tried setting the value to "YES" but it didn't work, which was kind of expected.

In case you are wondering, I placed the above lines below the UISupportedInterfaceOrientations section

<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>
<array>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
</array>

Hope this helps someone. Credit to Michael.

iPad Multitasking support requires all the orientations but your app does not, so you need to opt out of it, just add the UIRequiresFullScreen key to your Xcode project’s Info.plist file and apply the Boolean value YES.
