Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

The best way to support both orientations and platforms (iPhone & iPad) is to use AutoLayout. Here's a good introduction on Apple Developer website :

Auto Layout is a system that lets you lay out your app's user interface by creating a mathematical description of the relationships between the elements. You define these relationships in terms of constraints either on individual elements, or between sets of elements. Using Auto Layout, you can create a dynamic and versatile interface that responds appropriately to changes in screen size, device orientation, and localisation.

Also, check out WWDC sessions on AutoLayout.

Answer 2

I would also suggest you learning Autolayout for configuring same view for different orientations and devices but only when the design is really complex and cant be solved using the Spring and Struts Model. Autolayout sometimes is a real pain.

If your design is simple, you can sort out many of your views simply using the Spring and Struts model(Autoresizing) and you don't need Autolayout or drawing separate Stroyboard files and nibs.
