Remove nib from superview - ios

Question

I am simply trying to remove a view from it's superview when a respective button is pressed, but am failing to do so.
The view is a custom nib I created, called RequestLocationView
Called from viewDidLayoutSubviews:
func initBeaconServices() {
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
if locationManager.responds(to: #selector(CLLocationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization)) {
requestView = RequestLocationView(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
requestView.setupView()
requestView.alpha = 0
requestView.delegate = self
self.navigationController?.view.addSubview(requestView)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay : 1, options: .curveEaseOut, animations: {
self.requestView.alpha = 1
}, completion: nil)
}
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = true
let uuid = UUID(uuidString: "869A6E2E-AE14-4CF5-8313-8D6976058A7A")
// Create the beacon region to search for with those values.
beaconRegion = CLBeaconRegion(proximityUUID: uuid!, identifier: "com.dejordan.Capiche")
}
Here's the code for the RequestView:
class RequestLocationView: UIView {
#IBOutlet weak var acceptButton: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var rejectButton: UIButton!
var lView: UIView!
weak var delegate: HandleLocationPermissionDelegate?
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
xibSetup()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
xibSetup()
}
private func xibSetup() {
lView = loadViewFromNib()
lView.frame = bounds
lView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
lView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
addSubview(lView)
}
func loadViewFromNib() -> UIView {
let bundle = Bundle(for: type(of: self))
let nib = UINib(nibName: String(describing: type(of: self)), bundle: bundle)
let nibView = nib.instantiate(withOwner: self, options: nil).first
return nibView as! UIView
}
func setupView() {
acceptButton.layer.cornerRadius = acceptButton.frame.height / 2
}
func fadeIn(completion: #escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.3, animations: {
self.alpha = 1
}, completion: completion)
}
func fadeOut(completion: ((Bool) -> Void)?) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.3, animations: {
self.alpha = 0
}, completion: completion)
}
#IBAction func acceptPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
delegate?.allowPermissions()
}
#IBAction func rejecttPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
delegate?.denyPermissions()
}
}
Here are the delegate methods in the parent viewController:
func allowPermissions() {
requestView.fadeOut {(finished) in
if finished {
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
self.requestView.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
}
func denyPermissions() {
requestView.fadeOut {(didFinish) in
self.requestView.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
And this is what happens when you click reject... You can see the background slightly fading but that's it, and the view stays where it is.
I've been scratching my head for a while on this one, and have scoured many Stack Overflow posts to no avail...

It's possible the CLLocationManager code is interacting in a not-so-friendly manner.
If moving the RequestLocationView initialization into viewDidLoad corrects the issue, that's likely the cause.
To get the proper radius on your acceptButton, try adding a layoutSubviews handler to your custom view:
override func layoutSubviews() {
acceptButton.layer.cornerRadius = acceptButton.bounds.height / 2
}
