Rotation Issues When Using a Modal MPMoviePlayerViewController

Originator:alexander.repty

Product:iPad Product Version:3.2
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:

When rotating the device while a modal MPMoviePlayerViewController is being shown, the parent UIViewController shows up in an inconsistent state when the modal view controller is dismissed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.) From within a UIViewController, open a modal MPMoviePlayerViewController instance.
2.) While the modal MPMoviePlayerViewController is shown, rotate the device by 90°.
3.) Dismiss the modal MPMoviePlayerViewController.

Expected Results:

Orientation of the UIStatusBar and UIViewController should match.

Actual Results:

UIStatusBar orientation and UIViewController orientation doesn't match (one is in landscape, the other in portrait).

Regression:

Tested in a real-world project and a sample project using SDK 3.2 in the Simulator on two different machines, both running the latest version of Snow Leopard.

Tested using the real-world project on an actual device (16 GB WiFi).

Notes:

I've attached a sample project to demonstrate this behaviour. Watch the console for orientation debugging output.

I was able to obtain a successful workaround from Apple Developer Technical Support - details and code can be found on my StackOverflow question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3089692/ipad-rotation-bug-when-using-mpmovieplayerviewcontroller
