iPad Keyboard comes on from wrong side

Question

I've been working on my first iPad based project which has proven a massive learning curve but I'm nearly there. I have a small issue left however.

I've got my iPad to work in all orientations as dictated by Apple however they keyboard always comes on from the Portrait position unless the user rotates the device first. Does anyone have any suggestions where this is coming from? Just can't seem to figure out the reasoning for it. Any thoughts much appreciated, I'm sure this is glaringly simple but I'm just pulling my hair out here.

Answer 1

The keyboard displays based on the device's true orientation regardless of the layout any views. If the device is in portrait, the keyboard displays in portrait and it will not change until the device is physically rotated to landscape.
