App welcome screen forces portrait orientation on iPad
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

On first launch of the updated Wikipedia app on my iPad, I found that the welcome screen was displayed in portrait orientation, which was very disorienting as my iPad was being used in landscape.

After tapping 'ok' a couple times, I was returned to my expected landscape orientation once on the 'explore' view.

Steps to reproduce:

  • get an iPad
  • delete Wikipedia app if necessary to freshen up the local files
  • install or upgrade Wikipedia Mobile app
  • place iPad in landscape orientation
  • open Wikipedia

Expected behavior:

  • awesome intro/welcome screen in landscape orientation

Actual behavior:

  • wiki is sideways.jpg (969×1 px, 163 KB)
