I am trying to change views on rotation because my views have to be significantly different from portrait to landscape. Now the code I am using works once then the app freezes when trying to rotate back. Either direction does not make a difference. For example: If I am in Landscape and rotate to portrait everything works great until I rotate back to landscape then it freezes and does absolutely nothing.

Here is the code I am using to achieve this

In my "viewDidLoad" method

[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];      
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self  
                                         selector:@selector(didRotate:)  
                                             name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification   
                                           object:nil];      

Then I call this for the rotation:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return YES;
}

- (void)didRotate:(NSNotification *)notification  
{          
    UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];  

    if ((orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft) ||
        (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft))
    {  
        // present the other viewController, it's only viewable in landscape  
        [self.view addSubview:landScapeView];
    }

    if ((orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight) ||
        (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight))
    {  
        // present the other viewController, it's only viewable in landscape  
        [self.view addSubview:landScapeView];
    }  
    else if ((orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait ||
             (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait))
    {
        // get rid of the landscape controller  
        [self.view addSubview:portrait];
    }  
    else if ((orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown ||
             (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown))
    {
        // get rid of the landscape controller  
        [self.view addSubview:portrait];
    }  
}
