Description

I'm not sure whether this is a bug in the platforms add script or some weird configuration error on my side. I have a phonegap project with some settings in the root www/config.xml:

<preference name="phonegap-version" value="3.3.0" />
<preference name="Orientation" value="default" />
..etc.

When I create and test the ios platform:

$ cordova platforms rm ios
$ cordova platforms add ios
$ cordova emulate ios

It does not respond to the device rotation events on the iPhone hardware, but does respond to the same events if I set the hardware to the iPad. Looking a little deeper, I see that the .xcodeproj file has all device orientations checked under Deployment Info for the iPad, but only Portrait for the iPhone. Selecting all the device orientations and calling:

$ cordova emulate ios

Now the iPhone responds to the orientation changes there as well.

Removing and re-adding the ios platform resets this setting so that only the iPad responds to the orientation changes.

So... I guess my question is whether there is something that can be tweaked by a preference in the www/config.xml, or a bug maybe in the platforms add scripts? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
