Time for action – restricting the orientation of your app (iPhone)

           </orientations>
           <orientations device="ipad">
               <orientation>Ti.UI.PORTRAIT</orientation>
               <orientation>Ti.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT</orientation>
               <orientation>Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT</orientation>
               <orientation>Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT</orientation>
