I believe this is a common issue and many answers don't work anymore, many just partial, if you are under iOS7 and your iPad app is Landscape only, but you want to use the UIImagePickerController with source UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary or UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera.

How to set it right, so it's working 100%? And you don't get mixed orientations and avoid the error "Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate returns YES".

Although most answers recommend using .currentContext, I have found out after dismissing the imagepicker, everything was wrong.

On an Landscaped iPad, imho it's best if you would use .formSheet:

let picker = UIImagePickerController()
picker.modalPresentationStyle = .formSheet
picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
picker.delegate = self
self.present(picker, animated: true)

Swift 4 solution

Make sure that when you are having the ViewController embedded in a NavigationViewController to have the fix there. It won't work adding this restriction to the ViewController then...

import UIKit

class MainNavigationViewController: UINavigationController {

    override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
        return true
    }

    override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
        return .landscape
    }
}

And of course the code mentioned above for the AppDelegate:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return .all
}

Btw this is only necessary for iOS 10 and below. Apple seems to have fixed it from iOS 11 and above...
