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This is no longer valid behavior in Xcode 4.6 it appears, so I ask you: how do I add button items to a toolbar?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.

The buttons are still there and function fine, however as you can see they are completely invisible. Adjusting font colors and navigation bar colors had no effect. I have been trying to resolve this for months and despite reading Apple's documentation, I am unable to even see where you would change what I assumed to be a system wide function.
So to help narrow down this issue I created a simple navigation controller with a print button. If I put these both on the Login storyboard (the first storyboard) it works perfectly fine. If I put it on Main.storyboard (the second storyboard) it doesn't work.
If I change my project settings to make Main.storyboard the first storyboard it works. Leading me to believe the issue is in my FirstViewController.
You can set the color of the print and cancel button
UIBarButtonItem.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UIToolbar.self]).tintColor = UIColor.green
After narrowing down the problem to the first view controller I discovered the tint was set to Clear Color (ie Alpha is 0). Fixing this resolved the problem in the rest of the app. I am surprised a setting in a view can propogate to the rest of the app and overwrite all of the other views in the process. Perhaps apple set the first view to determine the colors for system pop ups etc.
I'm checking out an open-source iOS project. I want to get the breakpoints to the corresponding method is invoked when I click a button IN THE SIMULATOR. How can I do that in XCode?
There are times when button are added in programmatically and one cannot search for details in the storyboard.
Edit: I know how to add a breakpoints in general.
Click on left panel marked in image and one blue make will appear on that location when compiler will come on that line it will stop there and will show all the values of objects and variables.
I have Single View App for IOS Xcode 6.4. Example Add Player screen, I tried it by myself, but Text Field doesn't active to click and typing at my application simulator (UITableViewController Static Cell) I have compared my project with example final project, everything looks good similar. How to fix this problem?
First you try with cmd+k that will open the simulator's keyboard. If that is not working then try with cmd+shit+k that may hide your keyboard but you can able to type on the text filed. If that also not work then you may accidentally off the user interaction for text field. Or may be some other view covering your text field which is transparent, so you are not able to see it. I hope that will save your problem, otherwise please provide your code sample.
There is a bug in the segue transition. Set the transition to None and it should work. I had the problem with a Curl transition.
When using Safari and filling out a form, there are three buttons conveniently located at the top of the keyboard labeled Previous, Next, and Done. Is there a keyboard setting that can enable those or do you have to create and program these buttons manually?
I've had some success using this library:
https://github.com/simonbs/BSKeyboardControls
There is no default property of keyboard provided in ios. You need to add toolbar for that. Then you add previous , next or done UIBarButtons in the toolbar.
When keyboard appears toolbar is also displayed above it using some animation or directly same way when it hides/disappears you have to hide the toolbar also using animations or by changing it positioning in view.
Hope it helps you.
XCDFormInputAccessoryView is an accessory which contains the features you needed. It is easy to use. Here is how it looks with keyboard
i'm working on my first app and the problem a have is that the application interface design is quite customised, (even though it is a tab bar based app). now in one of the view controllers i need to present the user with the print interaction controller to print images. the thing is i don't use a navigation bar or a toolbar system or otherwise. i have managed to attach a target action method to a custom button. however, apple states that the printing interface should be presented by a system button (the one that looks like an arrow, kind of). question is: is there any way of putting a system icon inside a button that is not inside a (bar)?, or would it be ok to somehow tell the user (with an overlay or something) that tapping the button i'm using (the button is a red ribbon coming down from a picture frame) they will get the printing options?
Apple says:
Although the print button can be any
custom button, it is recommended that
you use the system item-action button
shown in Figure 6-1.
I'd interpret that to mean that you can use your own button if you want to.
You might want to consider having a toolbar at the top of the view for this particular tab. Just appearing on this tab. This would make the issue moot.
You could also, have the tool bar "slide in" and "slide out" from the top to provide access to this (and other?) actions. A single or double tap could instigate such an action.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn't expose the images for the custom bar button items in any reasonable manner. If you'd like access to them, I suggest using the bug reporter system at Apple's developer site to request that.
