I trying to implement a hamburger menu using a scroll view, two container views and two embedded views with Swift 2 and Xcode 7. Everything works but for some reason, I can't see the picture of the Navigation Item I set. However if I click on the area where the Item is supposed to be it responds as I expect. But I can't figure out why I can see the Nav bar item image?
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Be sure that the image that you're trying to set is added to your project. Not the project folder but the actual Xcode project and used in the target that you're currently using.
My guess is that you're setting the image with
UIImage(named:"YourImageName")
Also, another hint is that you can make your button visible.
Hope this helps.
I figured out my bug. I had copy a piece of code to create the menu image and paste it in a class with the same name. So the image was never created. But Xcode didn't complained that I have a nested class of the same name as the main class, that would have helped so much :-/

I am working on an application using Swift which needs to have a TabBarController and when user will select a tab then that particular tab bar item shows a 3d visual effect (Although it will be an static image I guess) which contains shadow and that tab bar item will be bigger in size as well with different tint colour.
Please see the attached image.
I have searched a lot on internet but no luck. Please someone help :(

For as much as I do not like answers in the tone It can't be done, I feel that the specific of your screenshot, namely going outside of the UITabbar background, can't be done with UITabBarController.
You can use -initWithTitle:image:selectedImage:. Documentation found here
I'm using Xcode 5.1.1. I recently added a background image to my application but the buttons on the view controller aren't visible. When I remove the background image, the buttons become visible again. How to handle this?
If you are not checking the view hierarchy, then do one thing create outlet of you button and then write following code in viewDidLoad.
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:yourButton];
I don't know if you were used xib...
If you are using xib in your project, giving a background image for your button will more easy.
Place a button anywhere you want. Then go to attributes inspector on the right hand side. There you can find a field for changing your background image. Just give the name of your image.
Hope it will helpful for you
From what I can tell there are some challenges people are having in XCode6 in terms of wiring up outlet collections. I just wanted to see if i'm doing this right or what I need to do correctly! I reviewed here Can't hook up an outlet collection in Xcode 6 using storyboard as well as other areas, but I wanted to be more basic about this first.
I have 7 images on a screen. I'd like to iterate through all of them in a loop or something. I read an outlet collection would be a sensible way to do this. To create an outlet collection, I am doing this:
While splitting the screen (storyboard on left, assistant editor on right) I control+click on one of my 7 images, and drag it into the view controller code on the right. This will prompt me to create an outlet, or outlet collection (I select outlet collection).
Now that this is done, a circle appears in the left margin next to this variable indicating that the image is associated with that variable. If I hover over the circle, the first image lights up.
What you're supposed to do (can someone confirm this please??) is you just hover your mouse over the circle, and a + symbol appears, and all you do is hold down the left mouse button, and drag over to another image (for example image#2), and it should automatically add that to the collection. The idea is to simply drag to each image so they are all added.
Is that right in step #3 above? Is this the normal way you would add items to a collection? Drag from the + to the image within your controller? For me, when I do this, the line appears, but it doesn't seem to respond to connecting the line to anything. I just hover it over the images, and it doesn't highlight the image or select it or anything, and when I let go, nothing happens.
I'm still somewhat new to this - what am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your patience/help!
OK I had the same issue and I think I have just found a workaround
1) Do steps one and 2 with the first image
2) Now repeat exactly what you did using the second image - drag and drop just below the first outlet collection (this would simply create a second outlet collection use exactly the same name )
3) Now Xcode won't like it as you have two outletCollections with the same name. Now comment out the first one
4) Now you only have one outlet collection. And it would be wired up to both your images. confirm it by hovering your mouse pointer over the little 'circle' next to the IBOutlet to see your images being highlighted.
This seems to work for me. So hope this helps :-)
There is an error with Xcode and Interface Builder that causes problems with outlet collections. You are doing it right, Xcode is problematic.
A workaround is to:
Go to your DerivedData folder (Xcode preferences -> locations)
Clean build folder from the Product menu while holding option (alt) button
Quit Xcode
Delete the folder starting with your app's name in the derived data folder
Go to your xcodeproj file, right click it, show package contents.
Delete the xcuserdata folder (warning: don't touch the others!)
Open Xcode again.
When you delete user data, window positions etc. will be reset to defaults and breakpoints will be deleted. Your project should work smoother (after a few seconds of re-indexing) and outlet collections should work properly.
I have had some success by just changing my workflow as follows (no need to restart Xcode).
First, create the outlets in code in the controller class file.
Second, drag from the objects (in the outline view of IB) to the controller, or back (for actions).
This has always worked without fail. It is slightly more effort, but actually negligible. Definitely an Xcode bug.
I got a problem in the Xcode project.
below image shown UITabbar problem. I thought it's a Interface builder bugs.
UITabbar showing a dark color. That only shown a root & one-depth ViewController.
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

The problem suddenly appeared.
It is not known whether the problem is caused what.
TabbarItem area is like a shown bug as image.
I hope Tabbar area to be displayed correctly.
I tried to various way to solve the problem.
tried ways as a below :
regenerate xcode project and then copy storyboard. => fail
regenerate storyboard and then copy partial elements in storyboard. => fail
regenerate all of them. => I did not try yet.(have too much elements. I want to avoid like this way.)
Interest point is sometimes display correctly. When I first open a simple storyboard file(Default UITabbar Project's main storyboard) like a below image.
it bring to me confused.
I'll summarize what I know about storyboard that may cause similar issue...
Assigning images that have incompatible width:height ratios to tab
bar items
Not assigning any images or not using any system images for tab bar
items
Hope this can help anyone else that has similar issues...
I am attempting to add a toolbar as an input accessory, and as such have added it via xcode storyboard editor to the view controller (and not within the view). This was as specified in this tutorial(which seems to be written for an earlier version of xcode): reference
My issue: "8.) Now we need to open the toolbar item itself. Double click Toolbar in the document window."
This is no longer valid behavior in Xcode 4.6 it appears, so I ask you: how do I add button items to a toolbar? I would prefer to avoid doing it programmatically (Still reasonably new to xcode development and normally make my GUIs with storyboards) but if I have to, I have to.
Many thanks!
If you're doing what I think you are doing, adding UIBarButtonItems to a UIToolbar, then you simply drag a Bar Button Item out to the toolbar.
However, I would assume that what they mean when they say 'double-click' is not what people normally think of when they think double click. Try double clicking slowly this often does the trick.
Found the issue - it was appearing behind the UIView. However you dont ever need to graphically interact witha toolbar, you can just drag-and-drop controls onto it in the sidebar. If there is a need for more info on this message me or vote up.
