Get device current orientation (App Extension)

I got an idea!

extension UIScreen {    var orientation: UIInterfaceOrientation {        let point = coordinateSpace.convertPoint(CGPointZero, toCoordinateSpace: fixedCoordinateSpace)        if point == CGPointZero {            return .Portrait        } else if point.x != 0 && point.y != 0 {            return .PortraitUpsideDown        } else if point.x == 0 && point.y != 0 {            return .LandscapeLeft        } else if point.x != 0 && point.y == 0 {            return .LandscapeRight        } else {            return .Unknown        }    }}

EDIT: On Swift 4 you can do:

extension UIScreen {    var orientation: UIInterfaceOrientation {        let point = coordinateSpace.convert(CGPoint.zero, to: fixedCoordinateSpace)        switch (point.x, point.y) {        case (0, 0):            return .portrait        case let (x, y) where x != 0 && y != 0:            return .portraitUpsideDown        case let (0, y) where y != 0:            return .landscapeLeft        case let (x, 0) where x != 0:            return .landscapeRight        default:            return .unknown        }    }}

I found a way where we can calculate our device orientation like this way in (App Extension)

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{   if(self.view.frame.size.width > self.view.frame.size.height)      NSLog(@"Landscape");   else      NSLog(@"Portrait");}

It gives me right orientation but still not get as device is LandscapeLeft or LandscapeRight as well as Portrait or PortraitUpsideDown.

Still need help.

The observer method will get called if you add this before:[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];

Edit: I use UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification for the observer

And in my method I check:

UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]; BOOL isPortrait = UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait(orientation);

Edit 2- Xcode 6.2 - iOS 7 & 8

It seems that if you want to use this on both iOS 7 & 8, the code above will give you wrong result on iOS 7.

So I use something else because on iOS 7 the mainScreen's bounds will never change, but on iOS 8 will change if the orientation changes.

I've got 3 macros that will give me the right size of the screen's width & height regardless of the iOS version:

#define IOS_VERSION_OLDER_THAN_8 ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 8.0)#define SCREEN_WIDTH_CALCULATED (IOS_VERSION_OLDER_THAN_8 ? (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation) ? [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height) : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width)#define SCREEN_HEIGHT_CALCULATED (IOS_VERSION_OLDER_THAN_8 ? (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation) ? [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width) : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height)

Then, when the notification is fired, i check the orientation like this:

BOOL isPortrait = SCREEN_WIDTH_CALCULATED < SCREEN_HEIGHT_CALCULATED;

This will work on iOS 7 & iOS 8, but i didn't check for older versions of Xcode, only 6.2

This will return only if the device is on portrait or landscape, not all the 4 orientation types
