I came across a problem exactly as mentioned in the question in the link below.
How to stop my Custom Keyboard from 'floating' or being undocked on iPad
Does anyone have a solution for fixing this.
Thanks in advance.
I don't understand why the constraints aren't looking correctly in the preview panel. Any tips? Any best videos on constraints with Xcode, I learn best by watching. Both are 3.5 inches.
Thanks for your feedback.
Not looking for UICollectionView. I've admitted it's a plausible solution but isn't addressing what I have asked in the manner in which I have asked. UIStackViews are my best option. Thanks again to the guy who gave me the videos, they are the best help with constraints and layouts etc.
Answer solved.
Im just picking up ios development, and Im having a stupidly basic problem with xcode...
I open up a new app and open main.storyboard, and drag in a label to the center of the panel:
It just sticks to the right side, and no matter how many times I click on the darned thing, it won't move! I closed the project and started a new one, and that one worked just fine, but the problem keeps appearing just about every other time I open a new project. why does this keep happening?
That is a strange problem. You say that if you close the project and start it again, it fixes itself but keeps reappearing.
Few suggestions, try clearing up some ram by closing other, unused apps.
If that does not work, I would say delete Xcode, restart your mac, and start over. Maybe something went wrong during the install.
Storyboards are scrollable and when you scrolled out your views, you cannot make any changes to the views. Try scrolling into the storyboard and then retry moving the label.
It's AutoLayout, which is the highly recommended default for laying out components now. You need to create constraints to
position it, using the icons below the layout area.
Some components I've found I need to manipulate via the size inspector, before constraints are applied.
You will need to read up on Auto Layout sooner or later. It may seem like a hassle or drag at first, and a lot of people are cursing when they have to switch to the paradigm, but when you start to master it, it is very powerful. And it really is a sensible way to handle the layout across all the new screen sizes and orientations. It developed out of a need to manage that complexity to keep apps looking good.
Icons in IB where you set constraints for selected views:
Apple has good documentation for how to use Auto Layout as do many bloggers and sites. You will have to put some hours into getting used to it, but in a day or two you should start seeing good results.
(and don't blame me, I'm just the messenger)
I have a 1 pixel gap at the end of my UISegementedControl which only appears in iOS 7.
I am not sure why this is appearing or how to resolve it. I would greatly appreciate guidance on diagnosing and fixing the issue.
I would approach this by making a new project with just the UI control and whatever other elements are relevant, to see if you can replicate the problem without other code.
What does it look like in the storyboard editor? I assume manually increasing the width doesnt fix the issue?
Is there a way to work around the grouped tableview background problem on the iPad?
I found some questions with the answer to check the following link:

The problem is that this link doesn't work for me. It says it's not a public project. So can anyone help me?
Thanks!
On the iPad, the grouped table view color is the same as clear color. You need to set your own (pattern) color or use a background view. This is NOT a jira problem, it's by design in iOS.
This is a known bug, which they still haven't changed so it seems.
So if anyone reads this post and has the same problem, you could create a jira ticket.
