How do I fix this? iPad Orientation Launch image

The iPad Human Interface Guidelines state that an iPad application should be able to run in all orientations. The Game Salad launch image for your application is only displayed in upright portrait orientation with the home button at the bottom. See the attached screenshot. Since this image is displayed for a longer period of time, it would be appropriate to provide a launch image for each supported orientation, including the 180-degree portrait.

Please note that supporting all four orientations, each with a unique launch image, provides the best user experience and is recommended.

Please review the Aim to Support All Orientations section of the iPad Human Interface Guidelines here:

    from what I understand and have been told, there are 2 bugs related to this:

    1. Pro member's custom loading screen is not working.
    2. That launch graphic is ignoring your selected orientation and automatically rotating to portrait. I think that if working properly, it should only rotate in the directions you selected. For me, it would be landscape left and right and nothing else.

    I'm hoping they get a fix out this week so I can resubmit a rejected app, and update my current one.

    I think they seem t be just cracking down a little more

    Everything of mine got through at first and one update did.

    The last three things (new app and two updates)
    were rejected.

    I'm sure they are gonna have it fixed as fast as humanly possible as there is no way GS wants their games being rejected.

    In the mean time it gave me time to pick up where i left off and get two iphone apps submitted i had put aside for the last two weeks

    This really needs to be fixed urgently.

    I have been rejected twice for this and it's frustrating because we cannot do a thing about it.

    This I need to be fixed sooner than Friday.

    But, the Gamesalad team should take their time when fixing bugs.

    Cheers, Weswog

    I finally had an app approved after two rejections. Didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, but what I did (not sure if it made any difference) is I added a start scene with no words just an image and for that scene I selected all four orientations and I also checked all four orientations when submitting to GS.
