If Apple doesn't allow than why does Adobe?
Well, after nightmare type of my journey to publish and upload .ipa to Apple Store (using Windows platform), at the end I got my application rejected and the reason is the following:

We found that your app does not comply with the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.
Specifically, we noticed your app only supported the top-right variant of the landscape orientation, but not the top-left variant.
While supporting both variants of both orientations, each with unique launch images, provides the best user experience and is recommended, we understand there are certain applications that must run in the landscape orientation only. In this case, it would be appropriate to support both variants of that orientation in your application, e.g., Home button right and left.
Addressing this issue typically requires only a simple and straightforward code modification. However, if you require assistance, the Apple Developer Support Team is available to provide code-level assistance.
For more information, please review the Aim to Support All Orientations section of the iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
To appeal this review, please submit a request to the App Review Board.

My application is designed to work in landscape mode only. Because of the content, I can not really re-design it to work in portrait mode. Whatever can be done in portrait mode is re-scale, which would really make my content very tiny...
I wonder, if Apple requires to have support for the both orientations, why Adobe has given "Auto orientation" check box (in AIR of iOS settings dialouge box)? Just because of this 'feature', I've lost almost a week and may lose very very important meeting on Wednesday.. and God knows when my application will finally be uploaded to AppStore.. aah!!!!!!
