In your UIViewController write something like this (example below is to force the app into landscape mode only):

// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // Return YES for supported orientations

	if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) {
		[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
		return YES;
	} else if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
		[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
		return YES;
	}

	return NO;
}
