UITextView disappears from ViewController - ios

I have the strangest thing happening. My Text Views and Image Views randomly become invisible on my View Controller.
I am developing using Xcode 6 on OSX 10.9
I have a View Controller that is wrapped in navigation controller.
In the middle of the View Controller I have Text View. When I add an Image View or move controls somehow the Text View disappears. It doesn't re-appear at run time. There doesn't seem to be overlap as far as I can find. On the left hand side the navigation shows that the text view is there and I can select it and edit properties.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I recommend upgrading to Xcode 6, and using its new view debugging feature to locate your view. The issue could be with incorrect Auto Layout constraints, or some views overlapping one another, etc.

Weird scrolling behaviour when using Tab Controller - iOS

I am building an iOS app using Swift. In my app, I am using a paging menu controller (called PageMenu) built from other view controllers placed inside a scroll view (you can view it on GitHub here). It is similar to how Instagram looks:
When I set up the PageMenu in my project, it looks and works great...
BUT, when I embed the view within a Tab Bar Controller to add in a normal iOS Tab Bar, the scrolling within the PageMenu view doesn't work...and I get weird diagonal scrolling, and I can't actually scroll down if there is more content.
Does anyone have any idea of why this might be happening and how to fix it?
Please ensure that you set up the frame size when you are initializing the page menu.
If your scroll view is bigger than the actual view, then you will only be able to scroll the view, and not scroll the content inside it properly.
Set up the frame size of view while embedding. Check the parent view frame size.

iOS Blank White Space at bottom of viewcontroller

A strange white space appears at the bottom of a viewcontroller sometimes it disappear.
White space hides a button at the bottom left.
Please, help me out, I've searched a lot only thing I came across is
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false;
But it's not working
Thanks
This can happen due to either of the two reasons
1. Another view is overlapping your view
2. Height for your view is not enough to contain all the contents and view.clipsToBounds is set to Yes.
View debugging option in Xcode can show you what is happening.
Reproduce the issue in simulator and press the 'debug view hierarchy' button in Xcode. Xcode will render a 3D model of the view hierarchy which you can view from any angle by moving the model around with mouse. Click on any point on the model and Xcode will tell you what view it is and you can identify the overlapping view.

Views resize after pushing a view controller

I'm having a really strange behaviour. When my app starts everything is fine: the size of the views on screen are exactly the one specified in the storyboard. But just as I try to push a view controller its contents are scaled, so when I pop back the view is messed up.
Any clues?
First learn about Autolayout. Here is a good way to go
Autolayout
Second I am giving you a trick which may work.
Click on viewController
If you don't want your views to extend their edges to bottom or to the top deselect Under top bars and Under Bottom bars

UIScroll View on IOS 7 lingo

okay, my app was built on for iOS 6 until iOS 7 got released and i started making changes to support both versions. Now, i'm having problems with UScrollView and it's constraints on storyboard. when i add a scroll view to my view which has a navigation bar and add a button (or any subview) for say 20 points under the navigation bar, at runtime the subview get's misplaced vertically. it moves downwards in like 60 points. i guess the same size as the navi bar and the status bar combined. So, i was pulling my hair to know how to fix it with constraints and auto layout but i couldn't figure out how. the app sometimes crashes with a certain mix of layouts. However, what i did was to pull the scroll view aside and place the subviews as i want them to look like with navi bar there, then i pulled it back in it's right place (covering the entire view) and when i run the app it all works as expected. now the question what constraints should i add so that it works as expected without doing the whole process aside and then adding it? right now my view looks like this:
As you can see the button is under the navi bar. but when i runt he app it gets under the bar as i want it to. so how can i just add it on story board under the bar and let it stay there? in iOS 6 i used to do it that way without worrying and ios 7 seems like doing this hard on us.

Toolbar hiding on rotated UISplitView DetailView

I've based my app on Apple's SplitView project type. I have a TableView as the Master, and am using different types of views as the Detail view. To select types of detail view, I'm using the fancy concept of buttons on my DetailView toolbar. When the DetailView is derived from UIViewController, everything is good. When the DetailView derives from UIViewController, but contains a UITableView then I have problems. In portrait view the toolbar is visible. In landscape mode the toolbar is hidden, even though the Tableview is moved down to allow space for it. The UIToolbar and UITableView are both defined in my NIB file which is loaded to create the detail view. Why is my toolbar invisible in landscape?
BTW, is this the best way to choose Detail view types with UISplitView? Bonus question, what if selecting a row in my DetailView tableview should bring up another View, I can't push it like I would with a NaviagtionController, so how do I go back to the detail tableview?
Thanks, Gerry
HI Gerry,
I have faced the same toolbar problem, when trying to rotate the splitView, toolbar will disappear. If you are creating the toolbar in the interface builder, try to set the toolbar properties(size), by selecting the toolbar, then --> Tools -->Size inspector, in the autosizing section, mark the left, right and upper red lines and unmark the bottom red line, then everything will works fine.

Bonus question, I would create a UINavigationController in code, set it's rootcontroller to the DetailView tableview (self) and then push the new view on top of it.
When you react to the rotation change are you using the same view or a different one for the detail view? Seems like the new view may not contain an instance of the toolbar? Or the Tableview is covering it up because the landscape view has less vertical room than the portrait view. Are you resetting the height of the tableview to allow space for the toolbar within the 768 height when rotating to landscape?
Just a tip but whenever I run into odd things like this I remove the elements from the NIB file and create them programmatically in code and it usually solves the problem. You get a lot more control over things when you do. Overall as I've gained more experience with programming for iPhone OS I've found that I rarely put much into a NIB file any longer and do almost everything in code now.
