iOS 7 When Rotating View in Tab Bar, Right Side of View Is Not Clickable

iOS 7 When Rotating View in Tab Bar, Right Side of View is Not Clickable

I had the same problem. Putting the following code in my view controller's viewDidLoad fixed it:

self.view.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;

Touch Up Inside event not working after rotation of tab bar

Just put the following code in you TabBarViewController class.

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    // fix for iOS7 bug in UITabBarController
    self.selectedViewController.view.superview.frame = self.view.bounds;
}

iOS7 - Setting selectedIndex of UITabBarController breaks touch events along right-hand edge of screen?

I ended up raising this with Developer Tech Support, and it looks like a bug. This is the response I got back from Apple:

The container view that the tab bar controller sets up to contain your view controller is not being resized to account for the interface being in landscape orientation. It's dimensions at the time your view controller is displayed are 768 (width) x 1024 (height).

The view hierarchy looks like this when the selected tab's view is displayed:

UIWindow
    /* Navigation Controller */
    UILayoutContainerView
        UINavigationTransitionView
            UIViewControllerWrapperView
                /* Tab bar controller */
                UILayoutContainerView
                    UITransitionView
                        UIViewControllerWrapperView <-- Incorrectly sized.
                            /* MyViewController */
                            MyViewController.view

The incorrect size of UIViewControllerWrapperView does not cause a display problem because subviews are still displayed even if they are outside their superview's bounds. However, event routing is much more strict. Events on the right quarter of the screen are never routed to your view controller's view because the hit test fails at the wrongly-sized UIViewControllerWrapperView where the event falls outside UIViewControllerWrapperView's bounds.

As a workaround, I subclassed UITabBarController, and added the following in viewWillAppear:

@implementation FixedIOS7TabBarController

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    // Fix the frame of the UIViewControllerWrapperView
    self.selectedViewController.view.superview.frame = self.view.bounds;
}

@end

Hope that helps someone else....

UITabBarController Rotation Issues in ios 6

Zack, I ran into this same issue. It's because you have your viewController embedded inside of a TabBar Controller or UINavigationController and the calls to these methods are happening inside those instead of your normal View (Changed in iOS6).

I ran into this issue because I was presenting a viewController embedded inside a UINavigationController on all my modal views that had Navigation to different views (Signup Process, Login, etc).

My simple fix was to create a CATEGORY for UINavigationController that includes these two methods. I have shouldAutorotate returning NO anyway because I don't want my modal views rotating. Your fix may be this simple, give it a try. Hope it helps.

I created a category and named it autoRotate and selected theUINavigationController option. The M+H file are below.

#import "UINavigationController+autoRotate.h"

@implementation UINavigationController (autoRotate)

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return NO;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

@end

... and the category .h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UINavigationController (autoRotate)

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate;
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations;

@end
