iOS Orientation: Tried this and tried that

The app will show stuff on a second display fine. Issue is when I when I rotate the iPad the content doesn't rotate on the iPad.

Have looked at:

Anyone who could tell me exactly what I need to add would be appreciated! :)

shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: is a UIViewController method. The application delegate doesn't make use of that method. You should create a UIViewController subclass and put your content on its view. You will have to set appropriate autoresizingMasks on the view or relay your views on every rotation.

But if you intend to persist on using the application delegate, you should use the UIDevice singleton to generate notifications on orientation changes which you can listen to.
