Apple rejected my 4Webcams app!

Dear Kay,

Thank you for submitting 4Webcams to the App Store. We’ve reviewed your application and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPad application to the App Store. Applications must adhere to the iPad Human Interface Guidelines as outlined in the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.7.

The iPad Human Interface Guidelines state that an iPad application should be able to run in all orientations. 4Webcams is only supporting one variant of the portrait orientation. While we understand there are certain applications that need to run in the portrait orientation, it would be appropriate to support both variants of this orientation in your application.

Please note that supporting all four orientations, each with unique launch images, provides the best user experience and is recommended.

Please review the Aim to Support All Orientations section of the iPad’s Human Interface Guideline here:

In order for your application to be reconsidered for the App Store, please resolve this issue and upload your new binary to iTunes Connect.

And they are right. I will build a new binary for iPhone and iPad.
