Wordpress-ios: iPad: The transition when changing device orientation is not very smooth.

[aerych]

To reproduce:
Launch release/6.5 on an iPad.
Rotate the device and observe the transition animation.
Not that rather than a smooth size change, the animation shows large black bars that suddenly fill once the transition is complete.

Whoa! Thanks @aerych, I'll take a look.

[frosty]

Is this new behaviour in 6.5?

Indeed it is.

Some more steps for reproducing this one:

1. Launch app in landscape.
2. Rotate, see black bars.
3. Doesn't happen starting from portrait.

Looks like this one is caused by Lookback (internal build only), confirmed by enabling Lookback for a debug build via compiler flags, the pod configuration, building to an iPad device and running the steps above.

The latest Lookback SDK/POD 1.4.1 produces the same result, we currently run 1.3.0.

If its just for the beta builds then maybe we don't need to worry too much about it.
Close?

Yeah, I'd say we could close this for now.
