Autolayout Issues in iOS 7 in Custom TableViewCell - ios

I'm having issues with an Autolayout custom TableViewCell in iOS 7. The cell appears to display correctly, but I get a good deal of debugging console output, such as the following:
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property
translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints)

I only get this output in iOS 7, and I see it on all of my custom table view cells, across multiple view controllers. I have followed all of the steps in this post:(Using Auto Layout in UITableView for dynamic cell layouts & variable row heights). I have tried adjusting the AutoresizingMask of the content view in these cells, but it does not stop these errors from appearing. I would greatly appreciate some advice on fixing these errors. Thanks!

The last one,
"NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x7f9c1a4a70e0 h=--& v=--& V:[UITableViewCellContentView:0x7f9c1a4b66d0(44)]"
could indicate that in the tableviewcell the translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints property is set to YES. If this is the case try to set it to NO to avoid conflicts between your constraints and the automatic ones.

This means that you have constraints that conflict, and it is picking to satisfy one since they cannot all be satisfied.
Usually this means that you either have:
1)Constraints you know will not be satisfied simultaneously such as a minimum size or offset combined with a percentage or ratio. In this case all you need to do is reduce the priority of the one you want to break first.
Or, 2) duplicate constraints worded differently(center vertically, but also trailing space, etc) this one is harder for me to remotely diagnose, so posting the constraint would be important.
If the particular constraints are not that important to you (AKA you didn't spend that long adding them) then removing them all, adding suggested, and working from there is a very valid starting point.

What layout constraint is this talking about?

I've read all the SO questions that are similar to this and I'm so lost. I'm getting the following error:

I've gotten this for a bunch of other constraints which I've successfully solved, but this one is stumping me. I don't know what a UILayoutSupportConstraint is; the documentation is not very thorough. I've looked through the view debugger and UIView:0x7c0f65e0 seems to refer to my main view (although it's the child of a blank view, for some reason?). I'm not able to find anything with 0x7c0f67a0, although that seems to refer to the LayoutGuide, saying their bottoms must be equal. I'm not sure what other tools are available for me to use to figure this out.
EDIT:
Using the View Debugger, I've narrowed it down to one of these two constraints, neither of which I know the source of:
I can't find where either of these gets set. I know everyone's first suggestion is to set translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints to false, but that destroys my entire layout and I don't know how to fix it.
You could also consider adding accessibility identifiers and constraint identifiers to your views to make your AL logs more legible:
constraintVariableName.identifier = “constraintVariableName”;
In InterfaceBuilder, use the identifier property in the inspector.
self.loginButton.accessibilityLabel = NSLocalizedString("LoginButtonAccessibilityLabel", #"");
These id's will end up in the logs, such as you posted above, replacing things like UIView, UIImageView and UIConstraint with the ids.
It seems you have given constraints to image view with relation to Superview. So to satisfy you constraint of UILayoutGuide.bottom your constraints are broken. As you have added more or unnecessary constraints which were not required.
Constraints which are getting broken are:
UILayoutGuide.top = UIView.top
UILayoutGuide.height = 0
UILayoutGuide.bottom = UIView.bottom
UIImageView Height constraint
UIImageView Y position
UIView Height constraint
You have given UIView vertical spacing from top is '0' but missing bottom/height constraint.
Try changing the priority of height constraints from 1000 to 750 for UIImageview with height(220),UIView with height(518).
Also you need to check for bottom constraint for
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x7b6f6e20 h=-&- v=-&- 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Top' V:|-(0)-[UIView:0x7c0f65e0] (Names: '|':UIView:0x7c0effc0 )>"
If it is possible then please attach demo on git for better idea.
Hope it helps.
Disabling translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints wrecks your layout because some of your stacked elements have no explicit height/width set (PlayAgain, cat, frame) and are based off the image contents.
Your example project isn't runnable out of the box, so I can't inspect the runtime layout. However, I'd start by specifying the height of those elements so there are fewer auto constraints. It also looks like you're changing a lot of the constraints at runtime, so you need to be cautious about altering constraints that will conflict with each other. Make sure that the layout's happy before you start constraint-constant fiddling!
Use this following Line. It may be help you.
[view setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];

Contraints greyed-out in Xcode

I am trying to debug+understand autolayout constraints and I notice that when debugging the view with xcode (using the cool layer thing) I noticed that on one element in the view the constraints look like this
and the view is indeed ignoring these constraints.
All constraints have the same priority (1000) since I want them all. All constraints were made with interface builder and not through code, and there are not warning or conflicts in IB.
But in runtime I do see this
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints)

)
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x79684f10 V:[UIImageView:0x79686800(>=160)]>
So from this I understand that some rules conflict, but I'm not sure how to read this
the >=160 is a rule on the UIImageView so it would have height of atleast 160 and 130.5 is the bottom padding of the imageview (so when using systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:UILayoutFittingCompressedSize the height won't be 0. So the minimum height for the entire cell is 160+130.5)
The rest of the error I don't understand.
What is wrong with the constraints and why do constraint conflicts occur in runtime and not in IB?
XCode 6 now supports different layouts. This greyed out constraints exist in Compact Width | Any Height layout, for example, but you currently editing Any Width | Any Height.
More detailed:
Storyboard View Elements Greyed Out
It depends. If you don't use size classes the grey ones are the removed ones. And you need to remove them second time. No matter how stupid it sounds.
If you use size classes, it means that your current size class is different than for greyed constraint. (however the first scenario is also possible...)
In your case it looks like this is the first case. You need to remove greyed constraints once again.

iOS: Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints

I've seen the common response to this question of not having constraints set up properly. However, I've worked through all of the ambiguities in Interface Builder, and all constraints seem OK. I'm not sure what to check next. I can't even tell where it is coming from. I'm not setting any constraints in code.
What can I do to figure out where it is coming form?
What can be the cause if Interface Builder doesn't report any ambiguities?
Here's the specific error:

I know the two place in code where I have a UIImageView constrained to 20x20, but again, IB tells me everything is fine.
This is the part where the problem is:
<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x170286d60 h=--& v=--& H:[UITableViewCellContentView:0x178166840(247)]>
This mask needs to be turned off.
I think that mask is off by default for IB elements that have constraints. So I assume you made something in code. You can turn it off in code like this:
contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO
If this is really all IB only then I would like to know what code you use around creating table cells.

AutoLayout constraint issue with unexpected NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint

I'm using auto layout constraints programmatically and I am constantly seeing the same kind of error across my application usually related to a constraint that looks like this:
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x82da910 h=--& v=--& V:[UITableViewCellContentView:0x82d9fb0(99)]>"
I've put some sample code to reproduce at https://github.com/nicolasccit/AutoLayoutCellWarning
In this example, I am creating a very simple view with 2 UI elements: an image view called imageThumbnail and a label called labelName with some constraints:
"H:|-padding-[_imageThumbnail(==imageWidth)]-[_labelName]";
"V:|-padding-[_imageThumbnail(==imageHeight)]-padding-|";
"V:|-padding-[_labelName]";
On both elements I set the AutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints to NO.
And I am getting the following exception:
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

)
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint
<NSLayoutConstraint:0xa6e4f90 V:[UIImageView:0xa6e4340]-(10)-| (Names: '|':UITableViewCellContentView:0xa6e4150 )>
I know the last constraint is related to the content view but I am unclear to properly remove it (Setting
AutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints to NO on the contentView raises an error and in the SO link below, it messes up the entire layout):
<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0xa6e4ac0 h=--& v=--& V:[UITableViewCellContentView:0xa6e4150(99)]>
I've seen the answers at: Auto layout constraints issue on iOS7 in UITableViewCell but none of them seem to be working for me here.
I believe that the constraints I define are valid and pretty straightforward but can't seem to figure out what's going on. And I'm seeing the exception being raised both in iOS 6.1 and iOS 7.
Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Nicolas
You should read the exception description more thoroughly:
Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints
In short, this constraint you are seeing is due to some UIView having it's translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints set to YES. In this case I would suspect this is the content view of the cell, as hinted to by UITableViewCellContentView.
You can disable it by just setting the property to NO.
cell.contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO
EDIT:
Now, keep in mind that this is a temporary fix, most likely you have some other logic error with your constraints, for example constraining something in the contentView of the cell to the cell itself. Or by seemingly forcing the contentView to be larger than the cell is (and therefore larger than its' automatic sizing is).
For example, is your cell tall enough? i.e is it tall enough so that the contentView is 100pt tall? Note that the contentView has to be that tall, which might not necessarily match the height of the cell.
I've put a corrected version of your code at https://github.com/mattneub/AutoLayoutCellWarning. Works perfectly. This line was the main cause of your trouble:
NSString *const kImageVertical = #"V:|-padding-[_imageThumbnail(==imageHeight)]-padding-|";
Change that to
NSString *const kImageVertical = #"V:|-padding-[_imageThumbnail]-padding-|";
And all will be well.
The main reason you were having trouble is that by assigning an absolute height to the image view, you were making it impossible to also assign a height to the cell. Floating point is not exact, so you need to allow some room for the cell to grow / shrink. If we take away the absolute height, the image view gets its height from its intrinsic content size, at a lower priority, so there is no conflict.
I have some other critiques of your code. In trying to do dynamic setting of the cell's height while using auto layout, you were giving layout and constraint update commands you should never be giving, and you are giving them at wrong times. It is possible to do dynamic row heights based on constraints, but the way you're doing it is not the way. All you have to do is call systemLayoutSizeFittingSize to find out the correct cell height. Also, there is absolutely no need to put your "hidden" cell into the interface. Don't do that; it just confuses things. One of the things you'll notice when you look at my version of the code is that it is much simpler than yours, because of those differences.
For a working method, see my example at https://github.com/mattneub/Programming-iOS-Book-Examples/blob/master/bk2ch08p424variableHeights/ch21p722variableHeights/RootViewController.m
And see the discussion of this issue in my book.
EDIT (May 2014): Unfortunately my answer above fails to point out one of the key causes of this problem, namely, that the cell separator has height (if it hasn't been set to None). Therefore if you assign the cell a height that doesn't take the separator height into account, the auto layout constraints, if absolute, cannot be resolved into that height. (See this answer, which really made the lightbulb come on inside my head.)

Break on objc_exception_throw to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.
I would recommend to debug and find which constraint is "the one you don't want". Suppose you have following issue:
Always the problem is how to find following Constraints and Views.
There are two solutions how to do this:
DEBUG VIEW HIERARCHY (Do not recommend this way)
Since you know where to find unexpected constraints (PBOUserWorkDayHeaderView) there is a way to do this fairly well. Let's find UIView and NSLayoutConstraint in red rectangles. Since we know their id in memory it is quite easy.
Stop app using Debug View Hierarchy:
Find the proper UIView:
The next is to find NSLayoutConstraint we care about:
As you can see, the memory pointers are the same. So we know what is going on now. Additionally you can find NSLayoutConstraint in view hierarchy. Since it is selected in View, it selected in Navigator also.
If you need you may also print it on console using address pointer:
(lldb) po 0x17dce920
<UIView: 0x17dce920; frame = (10 30; 300 24.5); autoresize = RM+BM; layer = <CALayer: 0x17dce9b0>>
You can do the same for every constraint the debugger will point to you:-) Now you decide what to do with this.
PRINT IT BETTER (I really recommend this way, this is of Xcode 7)
set unique identifier for every constraint in your view:
create simple extension for NSLayoutConstraint:
SWIFT:
extension NSLayoutConstraint {
override public var description: String {
let id = identifier ?? ""
return "id: \(id), constant: \(constant)" //you may print whatever you want here
}
}
OBJECTIVE-C
#interface NSLayoutConstraint (Description)
#end
#implementation NSLayoutConstraint (Description)
-(NSString *)description {
return [NSString stringWithFormat:#"id: %#, constant: %f", self.identifier, self.constant];
}
#end
build it once again, and now you have more readable output for you:
once you got your id you can simple tap it in your Find Navigator:
and quickly find it:
HOW TO SIMPLE FIX THAT CASE?
try to change priority to 999 for broken constraint.
The problem you're having is the NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints should not be in there. This is the old system of springs and struts. To get rid of it, run this method on each view that you're wanting to constrain:
[view setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];
Be careful, that you do not use more than one constraint in the same direction and type.
For example:
Vertical constraint for trailing = 15 and another one is >= 10.
Sometimes, Xcode creates some constraints you don't notice.
You have to get rid of redundant constraints and the log warning will surely disappear.
Additionaly, you can read and detect some certain reasons, directly from the log:
NSLayoutConstraint:0xa338390 V:|-(15)-[UILabel:0xa331260] (Names:
'|':UILabel:0xa330270 )>
This we can read as problem in UILabel constraint, it is leading vertical constraint being 15pt long.
NSLayoutConstraint:0x859ab20 H:-(13)-|[UIView:0x85a8fb0]...
This would be trailing horizontal constraint etc.
use swift this code
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
I had quite a number of these exceptions thrown, the fastest and easiest way I found to solve them was to find unique values in the exceptions which I then searched for in the storyboard source code. This helped me to find the actual view(s) and constraint(s) causing the problem (I use meaningful userLabels on all of the views, which makes it a lot easier to track the constraints and views)...
So, using the above exceptions I would open the storyboard as "source code" in xcode (or another editor) and look for something I can find...
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x72bf860 V:[UILabel:0x72bf7c0(17)]>
.. this looks like a vertical (V) constraint on a UILabel with a value of (17).
Looking through the exceptions I also find
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x72c22b0 V:[UILabel:0x72bf7c0]-(NSSpace(8))-[UIButton:0x886efe0]>
Which looks like the UILabel(0x72bf7c0) is close to a UIButton(0x886efe0) with some vertical spacing (8)..
That will hopefully be enough for me to find the specific views in the storyboard source code (probably by searching the text for "17" initially), or at least a few likely candidates. From there I should be able to actually figure out which views these are in the storyboard which will make it a lot easier to identify the problem (look for "duplicated" pinning or pinning that conflicts with size constraints).
I had a hard time figuring out what constraints were causing this error. Here is a simpler way to do it.
I'm using Xcode 6.1.1
"Command + A" to select all the UILabels, UIImages etc.
Click Editor -> Pin > (Select...) to Superview
again click Editor -> Resolve Auto Layout Issues -> Add Missing Constraints or Reset to Suggested Constraints. It depends on your case.
I had this issue because my .xib files were using autolayout.
In the file inspector, first tab. Unticking "Use Autolayout" solved the problem.
Here is my experience and Solution.
I didn't touched code
Select view (UILabel, UIImage etc)
Editor > Pin > (Select...) to Superview
Editor > Resolve Auto Layout Issues > Add Missing Constraints
I have followed SO questions and answers from each search query. But they all are related with specific one.
At the basic, I mean before you are going to write down a format (may be a simple one) it will gives you a warnings.
From iOS 8.0 by default views are size classes. Even if you disable size classes it will still contains some auto layout constraints.
So if you are planning to set constrains via code using VFL. Then you must take care of one below line.
// Remove constraints if any.
[self.view removeConstraints:self.view.constraints];
I had search a lot in SO, but the solution was lies in Apple Sample Code.
So you must have to remove default constraints before planning to add new one.
For me the main reason of this problem was that I forgot to uncheck AutoLayout in the Xib editor.
In fact, I did a lot of adjustments of the XIB in code.
for(UIView *view in [self.view subviews]) {
[view setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];
}
This helped me catch the view causing the problem.
None of the foregoing answers is helpful in my situation. I am running XCode 10.1 and testing my app on the simulator for an "iPad (5th generation)". The simulator is running iOS 12.1.
I've got a simple root view in my storyboard, with two UITextField subviews. There are no constraints being used in the storyboard at all. And I have no UIButtonBarView objects in the app or the storyboard.
No messages get printed when the app launches and lays the root view out. None when the simulated device is rotated.
But in the simulator, the moment I click on one of the text fields, the keyboard extension arises from the bottom of the screen, although not the full keyboard, which never seems to show up in the simulator. But the following is printed out on the terminal:
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.
Try this:
(1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKitCore/UIView.h> may also be helpful.
It certainly appears to me that all this has to do with nothing in my app, and everything to do with how Apple is creating its own keyboard view, even with my small extension declared to be combined with it.
So the question remains, is there something I as an app developer am responsible for doing (on the presumption this is a bunch of stuff worth attending to) or is it just Apple's own problem/bug?
FWIW, this constraint problem message doesn't occur when simulating a newer iPad model, such as the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation). But the message does show up when simulating an iPad Pro 9.7-inch". All claiming they're running iOS 12.1.
I am getting this same error, but only on a specific view, when I touch the first textfield, and then the next textfield down.
I am writing in SwiftUI for iOS 13.4
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.
Try this:
(1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;
(2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

One thing to watch out for (at least this tripped me up) was that I was removing the constraint from the wrong view. The constraint I was trying to remove was not a child constraint of my view so when I did
myView.removeConstraint(theConstraint)
it wasn't actually removing anything because I needed to call
myView.superView.removeConstraint(theConstraint)
since the constraint was technically sibling constraint of my view.
I was also getting the same issue of breaking constraints in the log, for a viewCircle in the xib. I almost tried everything listed above and nothing was working for me.
Then I tried to change the priority of the Height constraint which was breaking in the log(confirmed by adding an identifiers for the constraints on the xib)enter image description here
Basically, you just have to remove that constraint from the associated view. For instance, if is the height constraint giving warning, just remove it from your view; it will not affect the view.
swift 4
I just add this line in viewDidLoad and work fine with me.
view.removeConstraints(view.constraints)
