AIR 3.3 for Android - Auto Orient not working

Question

My app descriptor for an app made for android has auto orient set to true.  Compiled in 3.2, it rotates and works great.  Compiled in 3.3, the screen never rotates to landscape (start up is portrait) although does do a 180 flip to portrait upside down.

There was a change in AIR 3.3. Now the Portrait you have set isn't the startup orientation, it's the permissible orientation. For most apps it's fine that it only ever runs in either portrait oe either landscape, but there will be some apps where you want to start in one orientation and yet still allow the other ones.

You could set the app to Portrait, auto orients off, and then after startup you can turn auto orients on.
