2. UIWindow的使用场景

2.1 额外添加的Window需要手动进行旋转

最近有遇到一个UIWindow的使用场景：在ApplicationDelegate.window之外额外创建了一个UIWindow对象(下文称为：otherWin)。

otherWin的windowLevel属性设置为UIWindowLevelAlert。关于windowLevel参考 Ref[2]

现象是：ApplicationDelegate.window可以依据current device orientation进行适当的旋转，而otherWin则不进行旋转。

解决方法如Ref[1]所示。

在iOS 8中针对UIWindow作的改变，参见 Ref[8]。
