I use these elements inside an ipad app that I've just submitted to apple, but I'm becoming a bit worried that it could be rejected because all ipad apps are required to support full rotation, which mine does except for the native widgets which are ostensibly locked to the portrait up orientation.

If there's a current way around this please let me know. Aside from making the app awkward to use in situations where I need a web popup or keyboard, I'm not sure if the app would even be approved if a tester were to find these sections.

Any ideas?

I am not sure about a complete solution, but as a workaround I was thinking if the setOrientation method was exposed then we could accomplish this ourselves:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];

Better yet, what about automagically setting the orientation whenever corona receives the orientation change event?

Can someone from Ansca answer this question: will orientation for all native widgets (alert, keyboard, web popups, etc.) be supported any time soon in the Corona SDK?

Thanks,
Tom

Yes. This bug is top priority and we are addressing it. We should have more information by Monday.
