“Auto Layout on iOS Versions prior to 6.0”

By AP, February 10, 2014

A short reminder, because I ran into this today and Xcode’s very poor at providing you useful verbosity when debugging Auto-Layout stuff done in Interface Builder. Sometimes (Xcode 4.x and 5.x) you might get the following errors when building an iOS project:

Illegal Configuration
Auto Layout on iOS Versions prior to 6.0

Going to each error does not help much. Debugging IB auto-layout errors is still a painful process. You have to know in advance the root cause of such errors. Rant, Apple !

Don’t panic. It’s from project settings. Most probably your iOS deployment target is < 6.0. So change that accordingly:

However, another reminder to Apple to put some logic and sense in auto-layout error messages. And hopefully improve the entire IB debugging overall.

Have a great day !

Simple stuff: viewDidLoad vs. viewWillAppear

By AP, April 10, 2014

iOS | UIViewController | view controllers | viewDidLoad | viewWillAppear

I was coding today for a small project I have. A very simple iOS application that has a very simple storyboard, two different paradigms for iPhone and iPad, but very, very simple. While coding I was struck by the fact — frequently forgotten — that we tend to ignore the obvious. Ok, here’s the deal: take one […]

iOS 7 UIPickerView Simple Application

By AP, October 16, 2013

Cocoa Touch | delegates | iOS | Objective-C | UIPickerView

Recently I was asked by a friend to provide some support with UIPickerView in iOS 7. He was a bit puzzled by what it seemed to be the impossibility to pad the content of each picker view row to a certain distance from the left side of the UIPickerView. Basically, let’s consider the following example. […]
