I have a view with a button at the bottom of the portrait screen, when I flip to landscape my tableview and everything else adjusts fine, but my button at the bottom is now missing. I can't find a property in IB that would allow me to make the position of that button relative to the bottom of the screen, so that if it flips to landscape then it will still be "5 pixels above the bottom" or whatever.
Any thoughts? Is a toolbar the only way to go here? What about for other controls?
Open Interface Builder and select the button you wish to anchor to the bottom. Choose Tools -> Inspector then click the Ruler icon. In the auto sizing section select the southern most I-Beam.

I'm creating a side menu in Xcode, and to open it I'm using a navigation view controller like the following:
I need the left bar button item to be on the left.
I added a left bar button item. Without changing it to a custom image, it is aligned to the left, as desired. When I change it to the custom image (the three lines) it stretches and aligns itself in the center. I have not written any code for this view controller yet, so none exists for the bar button item.
How can I get this aligned to the left as it should be? (Above the "Home" text).
Thanks for any help.
This is because your menu icon size is bigger.I have added two images one is with 64*64 px size which is perfect and in another icon with 512*512 px size
Hope it will help.Thank you.
You can’t use any image size for UIKit tab bar or navigation items.
Please read this guideline from Apple:

Is it possible to have the titleView to be behind the left and right bar button item on a navigation bar? I've set my titleView to have a width of 320 and it covers the left and right bar button item. I wonder if there is a way to move it to the back?
In my experiments, it appears that the titleView is always drawn after (above) the left and right bar button items. You could try spelunking the view hierarchy and using sendSubviewToBack:, provided that the title view is ever made part of the navigation bar's hierarchy.
If you can render the effect you're trying to achieve into an image, you could set that as the backgroundImage of the navigation bar, but this may not be practical.
Remember that you'll likely need to account for interface rotation in any case, since the navigation bar height (on iPhone) goes from 44px in portrait to 32px in landscape).
I am working to support the rotation screen in Iphone now and running into the issue. When the screen is in Poitrait mode, the position of navigation bar and its items on it looks perfectly.
When I switch to LandscapeToLeft, the width of navigation bar is stretched and it is fine.However, the position of items bar on it stay the same...Their positions are not changed at all.Therefore, there are huge room from the rightmost button to a right margin. ...I cant not attach any images so that you guys can easily see it....Sorry about that
If you were experiencing it before, please help
Any ideas are welcomed here. Thanks
PS: these itemBarButton are added by drag and drop in the toolbar in StoryBoard
Take a look at adding a "Fixed Space Bar Button Item" or "Flexible Space Bar Button Item". You can drag them into the navigation bar from the object library.
I have a toolbar, where I want to have one UIBarButtonItem centered and have another on the very right. However when I add the button on the right, my centered button gets shifted further to the left (see attached). I can't figure out how to get this resolved without using code (I would like to use interface builder only). Any ideas?
To do this in just IB, add a fixed bar button item to the very left of the bar that's the exact same width of the 'switch camera' button, followed by a flexible button, your camera icon, another flexible space, and the switch camera.
So it would look like:
|--fixed space--||--flexible space--||Camera Button||--flexible space--||switch camera|
My view doesn't stretch to fit the current orientation!
I am creating a tab bar application. I replicated the sample one that you create when you "create a new tab bar application". Everything works except when I change the orientation of the iPad it rotates the view, the tab bar stretches out on the bottom, but the view doesn't resize. Basically if you start in landscape then rotate to portrait, it rotates but the view is still landscape shape even though it rotates.
My tab bar has two tabs (just like the sample application) and so I compared mine against the sample which works property by property. One difference is I noticed my FirstView in IB under the resizing area doesn't show the resize arrows left/right up/down. In other words it isn't marked to auto fill its container. The sample's FirstView and SecondView DO have these arrows. But I can't turn them on!
I even tried creating a fresh new view but I still can't press these arrows on. what am I doing wrong here?'
Thanks a lot.
The solution is this:
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
Do this in viewDidLoad. There must be a bug in IB.
Another answer is turning off any simulated tabbars, nav bars, or status bars on the view in Interface Builder. Go into the autosizing area and turn on the auto grow arrows. Then turn back on the simulated user elements.
