Why my UILabel doesn't conforms to the inital frame? - ios

Question

I'm trying to create a popup label over the imageview. But in my application it doesn't work. I've made a test application with the same screen: UIImageView and below a UIView with a UIButton on the view.
So, where are two questions.
What could be difference in a code for such a different behaviour?
Why in my application the UILabel doesn't conforms to the initial frame?
The code of the function inside my viewController is the same:
private func showBanner(startY: CGFloat, targetView: UIView) {
let height: CGFloat = 42
let finishY = startY - height
let bannerLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: startY, width: self.view.frame.width, height: height))
bannerLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
bannerLabel.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 13, weight: .regular)
bannerLabel.textColor = .lightGray
bannerLabel.backgroundColor = .black
bannerLabel.textAlignment = .center
bannerLabel.numberOfLines = 1
bannerLabel.text = "You've added the item to the favorites"
targetView.addSubview(bannerLabel)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, animations: {
bannerLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 0,
y: finishY,
width: self.view.frame.width,
height: height
)
}) {
_ in
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 1.0, options: .curveLinear, animations: {
bannerLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 0,
y: startY,
width: self.view.frame.width,
height: height
)
}, completion: {
_ in
bannerLabel.removeFromSuperview()
})
}
}
The function is being called so:
showBanner(startY: itemsImageView.frame.maxY, targetView: itemsImageView)

Answer 1

The problem was in the line:
bannerLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
As soon as this line was removed, the problem has dissapeared.
