Locked rotation on Ipad - The Last Resort

I've been having a lot of issues over the past year with my Ipad's rotation being locked. I think I've been through every support page, blog and even youtube videos in search for a solution.

For this exercise I’ve been using Yeoman 1.1.2 and the 0.47 version of the webapp-generator. First off, go ahead with step 1 and 2 (but obviously using the latest versions).

I did some changes to the file structure in step 4, but I guess that’s a matter of taste? One thing to note is the change from “temp” to “.tmp” as this is the temporary directory name being used in other places: handlebars: { compile: { files: { '.tmp/scripts/compiled-templates.js': [ '<%= yeoman.app %>/templates/**/*.hbs' ] }, options: { namespace: 'MyApp.Templates...
