Rotate youtube video with iOS8 - uiwebview

Question

I am having a problem with rotate youtube video. I added the following code to my app. And it works for iOS 7. However, it doesn't for iOS8.
In my view controller, I used the following code:
if(IS_OS_6_OR_LATER){
// I use the following notification for iOS 7
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(youTubeStarted:) latername:#"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidEnterFullscreenNotification" object:nil];//Notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(youTubeFinished:) name:#"UIMoviePlayerControllerWillExitFullscreenNotification" object:nil];//Notification
}
if (IS_OS_8_OR_LATER) {
// I use the following notification for iOS 8
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(youTubeStarted:) name:UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification object:self.view.window];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(youTubeFinished:) name:UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification object:self.view.window];
}
-(void) youTubeStarted:(NSNotification*) notif {
//Handle event
AppDelegate* appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
appDelegate.fullScreenVideoIsPlaying = YES;
NSLog(#"start fullscreen");
}
-(void) youTubeFinished:(NSNotification*) notif {
AppDelegate* appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];//Notification
appDelegate.fullScreenVideoIsPlaying = NO;//Notification
NSLog(#"exit fullscreen");//Notification
}
-(BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
//Handle rotate
NSLog(#"AutoState");
return NO;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
//Handle rotate
NSLog(#"AutoState 1");
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;//Notification
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation{
//Handle rotate
NSLog(#"AutoState 2");
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;//Notification
}
In iOS 7, when video is played in Landscape mode, I press Done button, I see log 'AutoState 1' is shown however I don't see this log when running with iOS 8. Can you help me resolve this on iOS 8? Thank you very much

Instead of limiting the entire app to Portrait and then trying to make the video player allow landscape, you should instead allow landscape all over your app and then limit your invididual view controllers (or the root view controller) to only allow Portrait mode, like this:
In the target settings, allow landscape for your app:
In your view controller(s), add this to limit it to portrait orientation:
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
