    I have this line of code:

    Social.ShowLeaderboardUI();

    and it changes my game on iPad2 from portrait to landscape to display a message "Game Center is unavailable. Player is not signed in". Then after I dismiss it with an "ok" button it goes back to portrait. Why would it do that and how can we prevent it? The message isn't even true because I am signed in to Game Center on this device.

    I'm on the newest Mac OS and XCode, with Unity 4.6.

    Bump. Seriously no one has seen this? Or am I the only one making a portrait game? Might be that one.

    oh yes. If you want to hear me rant: presentation controller are absolute evil F***ed up S***. Yes, they kinda "override" your orientation constraints. What you can try doing (but ONLY if you develop portrait-only app):
    in UnityAppController.mm
    search for
    - (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication*)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow*)window

    tweak its implementation so it returns only orientations you want (please bear in mind that comments do tell the true story - this is very naughty area of ios, so you need to be careful, but portrait-only should be fine i hope)

    P.S. bumping saturday's post on monday morning... might be considered not cool at all ;-)
    P.P.S you can guess S*** word i guess (yay at forum software, it might help my posts to be less harsh for some ;-))

    Thank you, will try. Will Unity attempt to fix this "seems like a bug" in an update?

    no.
    check comments, they explain what happens and why it is made so.
    this is perfect area to celebrate that we have trampoline that you can tweak ;-)

    Ok, but this is only half of my question in the OP. Why is it saying "Game Center is unavailable. Player is not signed in" when I clearly am?
