UIView as subclass of Unity's UIWindow

After commenting out iphone::KeyboardOnScreen::Init(); in appController.mm to ensure that I am able to receive autorotation events, I am trying to add a UIView to the Unity's window in the appController:

-(void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication*)application{
   printf_console("-> applicationDidFinishLaunching()\n");UIWindow *topWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]keyWindow];
   menuVC = [[MenuTestViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MenuTestViewController" bundle:nil];
   menuVC.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,200,1024);
   [topWindow addSubview:menuVC.view];
  

When I run it, my menuVC.view fills the entire view, and through NSLogs I see that after

(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    NSLog(@"MenuTestViewController.shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation"); 
    // Overriden to allow any orientation.
    if((interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || (interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)){

        return YES;
    }else{
        return NO;
    }
}
 

The bounds and frame of menuVC.view are reset to 1024x768. I gave up on it for awhile but after seeing rolls royce's Phantom iPad application execute it properly, I'm more determined than ever. Thoughts?
