How do I detect orientation on app launch for splash screen animation on iPad!

Hi I have an app and I have two *.pngs for default splash screen:

Default-Landscape.png Default-Portrait.png

What I want is to animate this default splash screen away when my app is loaded and ready to go.

To achieve this I would normally present an UIImageView with either default-landscape or default-portrait (depending on the device orientation), keep it on screen for a certain time and then animate it away.

My problem is that if I call [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] in 

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

The answer is always that the device is in portrait orientation even if I clearly have it in landscape. I tried this in simulator and on the device as well and the behaviour is the same.

Does anyone know a fix for this or maybe some other approach?

Thanks!

To know at start what is the orientation (UIDevice orientation don't work until user have rotate the device) intercept shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation of your View Controller, it is called at start, and you know your device orientation.
