Swift Safe Area Layout not activating properly - swift

Question

I am learning some auto layout programatically and I want to add a button on the bottom part of the screen, just above the safe area.
I know the code is working, because I tested it in another project, I think it is a conflict because I get to this viewController from another one.
The code for my button
private let previousButton : UIButton = {
let button = UIButton(type: .system)
button.setTitle("Prev", for: .normal)
button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return button
}()
The code for setting up my constraints
fileprivate func setupBottomControls() {
view.addSubview(previousButton)
previousButton.backgroundColor = .red
view.addSubview(previousButton)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
previousButton.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor),
previousButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.leadingAnchor),
previousButton.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.trailingAnchor),
previousButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50)
])
}
Like I said this code is working in another project but I think it is in conflict because of how I called this viewController.
This is a code from the first view controller that make the new viewController(GettingStartedController) to be shown, here it will be the button mentioned above.
func switchVC(){
//enter GettingStarted controller
let controller = GettingStartedController()
view.addSubview(controller.view)
present(UINavigationController(rootViewController: controller), animated: true,completion: nil) //used when no animation is present
}
I think the problem is here any ideas on how to change the call to the GettingStartedController so that will see the Safe Area the right way?

Answer 1

Check my code solution. I added your function to the button when it is tapped and it now presents the GettingStartedController():
private let previousButton : UIButton = {
let button = UIButton(type: .system)
button.setTitle("Prev", for: .normal)
button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(switchVC), for: .touchUpInside)
return button
}()
fileprivate func setupBottomControls() {
view.addSubview(previousButton)
previousButton.backgroundColor = .red
view.addSubview(previousButton)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
previousButton.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor),
previousButton.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.leadingAnchor),
previousButton.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.trailingAnchor),
previousButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50)
])
}
#objc func switchVC(){
//enter GettingStarted controller
let controller = GettingStartedController()
present(UINavigationController(rootViewController: controller), animated: true,completion: nil) //used when no animation is present
}
