Screen Rotation on GameSalad Viewer

Well I am currently working on a game that is in iPhone Landscape format. However when i test the game on the GameSalad Viewer, the screen just rotates from landscape to portrait. Can I check if my game will still have this problem after this game is officially published?

    If you did everything in your gs project to have it only remain landscape, it will be alright after it's published.

    Make sure all you scenes are checked with both landscape.

    @jasonwhite I have this issue also. The right boxes are checked.

    Tried to check both Landscape Left and Landscape Right under Scene -> Attributes -> Autorotate but still, when i preview at my ipod/iphone via GameSalad Viewer, it still rotates to portrait. Anyone has the same problem??

    I also had this problem but figured I would deal with it later. I realized that AdHoc testing is the way to go. It takes it little more time, but the results on how your game actually is, is a lot more accurate. When AdHoc testing it is really easy to select which way your screen can rotate, and which way it can't. So you don't have to go scene by scene and changing it.

    This is a real problem in the viewer and I hope that is is addressed in the next update.

    @old_kipper The viewer rotation issues first arose earlier this year, and we were told the viewer isn't "considered broken". So, in short, I wouldn't hold your breath about getting it fixed. If I'm using the viewer, I just make sure to hold it at the right orientation prior to testing. If I'm doing a game based on accelerometer, I adhoc it.

    @liquidgamesworks I saw they don't consider it broken but I was working on a accelerometer controlled app the build times for adhocs to adjust settings and other elements has made going further sadly impractical.

    I'm working on a accelerometer game as well. Sucks pretty much that you can't test it with the viewer :/

    I use the iOS rotation lock as a workaround.

    What is the issue, I've not come across it before ? What happens when you try and test an accelerometer game in the viewer ?
