UIStoryBoard - Prevent View from overlapping status bar (iOS 11 App) - swift

I want to stop overlapping of my View with statusbar

Use Auto Layout and pin your view to Top Layout Guide, or use the new Safe Area Layout Guides. To enable it, in your storyboard's File inspector tick the following option.
As an example I have used gray image view:
As you can see below, it does not overlap status bar:

How to add a titlebar to a popover

I'm trying to replicate the appearance of the (no longer functional) Degrees app, but I can't figure out the components used to make the title bar (highlighted here in red).
I've managed to get my app running as a menu bar agent, and I've wired up a popover to display a window view on click. But it's not quite right: my window's title bar disappears when in the popover, and the bar used in the Degrees app is wider than the one provided by the stock window control.
How might I mimic the appearance here? it just an ImageView?
Popover's don't show window title bar's as you've discovered.
Just add an NSView at the top of your window view and add a label for the title and a button for the "Done" button to create your top bar with desired height. Then add a horizontal line to the bottom of this title view and programmatically set the background color of its layer to whatever you desire. Offset all your other views by that bar height.
Basically:
[Window]
[View]
[View (Title Parent)]
[NSTextField]
[NSButton]
[Horizontal Line]
[Other Views]
For getting the gray background, in your NSWindowController windowDidLoad,
self.titleParentView.wantsLayer = YES
self.titleParentView.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor grayColor].CGColor;
where titleParentView is an IBOutlet connected to the view you created above in the xib/storyboard

Overlaps the status bar on view iOS7

I have develop the my iPad application in ios6 but now i want to develop that application in ios7 also , I am using .xib file and I am not using the AutoLayout i want to use the black status bar in my application and i want to make the application similar like ios 6 but the status bar is overlap on the view i use the different code like below link
Link 1
Position of navigation bar for modal view - iOS7
Link 2
iOS 7 - Status bar overlaps the view
Thanks in Advance
wont happen, two options:
use a custom background image that is sized accordingly.. IIRC 44 (for navbar) + 20 (for status bar)
OR
account for the 20 pixels by using a custom view which is black :D
In iOS 7, the status bar is transparent, and other bars—that is, navigation bars, tab bars, toolbars, search bars, and scope bars—are translucent. As a general rule, you want to make sure that content fills the area behind the bars in your app.
Because the status bar is transparent, the view behind it shows through. The style of the status bar refers to the appearance of its content, which includes items such as time, battery charge, and Wi-Fi signal. Use a UIStatusBarStyle constant to specify whether the status bar content should be dark (UIStatusBarStyleDefault) or light (UIStatusBarStyleLightContent):
UIStatusBarStyleDefault displays dark content. Use when light content is behind the status bar.
UIStatusBarStyleLightContent displays light content. Use when dark content is behind the status bar.
In some cases, the background image for a navigation bar or a search bar can extend up behind the status bar. If there are no bars below the status bar, the content view should use the full height of the screen.
In iOS 7, you can control the style of the status bar from an individual view controller and change it while the app runs. If you prefer to opt out of this behaviour and set the status bar style by using the UIApplication statusBarStyle method, add the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance key to an app’s Info.plist file and give it the value NO.
For more details about how to use status bar with navigation controller, please refer my answer here.
Try below to do not overwrite status bar:
[navController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navBar.png"] forBarPosition:UIBarPositionTop barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
A workaround to use the old style status bar is to modify the frame of the main view and shift it down 20px. This will only work on viewWillAppear function but you need to make sure you call this once. This is more of a hack than a solution:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.view setFrame: CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, self.view.frame.origin.y+20, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height-20)];
}

IPhone Simulator - label misaligned

I have a label sitting on the the top of screen in a tab bar controller app. When I align it to the top of the screen in Interface Builder (IB for short) and then run it, the label is about 20 pixels higher in the simulator - cutting off half the label or so. I have only seen this behaviour in tabbed apps. I have played with all the align, view mode settings without success and there is no custom drawing code.
Any ideas on why label is misaligned in simulator?
I have attached screen shots of IB (left - OK) and simulator (right - bad):
Thanks,
Serge
I guess , you are facing problem because of the following reason.
Since Tab area occupies some height from bottom,You have design your view such that top of the label should align with the top of the screen(like label should start by leaving some space (20px something) at the top).
Thanks to PJR above for giving the hints. The trick is to setup the 'simulated metrics' of both tab bar controller and each of its first view controllers.
1) The tab bar controller --> simulated metric.bottom bar should be set to none
2) All view controller --> All simulated metric props set to 'inferred'.
I have provided screen shots for a fresh tabbed project created in Xcode 4.3.1 which show what needs to be done.

Interface Builder Off Vertically

I'm using Xcode 4.0 and when building my view in Interface Builder everything looks great. When I run my app with the simulator or iOS device the whole view is off vertically (showing a white bar at bottom). It looks to be off by 20 pixels. TabBar, Labels, Tableview, Text and background image are all shifted up. Any ides? Thanks
Are you running fullscreen? I'm guessing that you've set the Status Bar to 'None' which means the size of your view in the Interface Builder is wrong.
In your *ViewController.xib when you set the Status Bar to 'None' it sets the height of the view to be 460, when it should be 480.

Toolbar placement off with Interface Builder

I have a view xib that I'm manipulating through IB (for various reasons) and it will be launched as a modal view in code. I have a Toolbar at top and another one at bottom with some other UI elements in between. When I run the app, the placement of the top Toolbar isn't as I see it during the layout in IB.
In IB, the top Toolbar is placed at top below the status bar correctly and the next UI element (a label) appears below it. However, in the simulator, the top half of the Toolbar appears underneath the status bar and thus making it look cut off and there is a lot of space between the Toolbar and the label, which isn't reflected in the layout in IB.
For modal views, should the height of the view be different? If so, what does it need to be?
The view's height is set to default height value of 480.
Is the style of the status bar set to Translucent Black in IB? This causes the status bar to not consume any space and as a result "float" above the underlying Views.
