This must be a silly mistake, but what could be the reason that locationInView always returns (0.0, 0.0) in my ViewController's touchesBegan or touchesMoved method?
userInteractionEnabled is set to true, so this cannot be the reason..
I'm working on a Metal project in Swift. The only subview of the view is a UIImageView (whose .image property contains the result of the Metal GPU rendering.
EDIT: This happens on my iPhone 6 only, and it's happening in other projects too. On the simulator everything is working normally.
Any ideas?
This went away at some time. Don't know, maybe it was a restart of the device.

I have a UIViewController in an iPad storyboard (no autolayout).
For the UIView of that UIViewController, I checked autoresize subviews. If I run that in the simulator (iOS 5 and iOS 6), the subviews don't get autoresized. Even stranger is, that if I close the project and Xcode and relaunch both, the checkbox "autoresize subviews" isn't checked anymore.
That happens just on the iPad storyboard. The storyboard for iPhone (no autolayout too) doesn't have any problems at all.
Did someone see a similar behavior or does someone know how to fix that?
Thank you very much for your help

That was a very strange bug...
I have just dragged and dropped a new UIViewController with a UIView and copied the old objects in the new UIView.
Now it works!
I hope this post will save someone in the future a lot of time

I have an iPad app that must support iOS 5.0 and later. I have a bug that behaves differently in 5.0/5.1 than it does in 6.0. The issue is a view controller in a tabbarcontroller that pushes a modal view, which in turn pushes a full-screen view via navigationController. The problem is, when in the full-screen view, if the iPad is rotated, the underlying viewcontroller (one in the tabbarcontroller) doesn't rotate. Now let me break down the differences in iOS versions:
First of all, this viewController in question implements shouldAutoRotateToInterfaceOrientation (returns YES) as well as willRotateToInterfaceOrientation and willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation.
In iOS 6.0, I noticed that the rotation methods (willRotate... & willAnimate...) were not being called, so I registered it to receive the UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification notification and execute the code from the two Rotate methods if I received that notification and the other methods hadn't executed. That fixed the issue in iOS 6.0.
Problem is, in 5.0/5.1 the rotation methods (willRotate... & willAnimate...) ARE being executed, but the view is not rotating. If the "full-screen view" is not presented over top of this view controller and the iPad is rotated, these two methods execute and the views rotate accordingly.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Things I've tried other than that stated above.
I've tried checking the UIDeviceOrientation and converting it to a UIInterfaceOrientation and calling [self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:xxx]; The view still displays wrong.
When the two rotation methods are being executed, do the CAAffineTransformation for your view. when you are back to normal, again do the same with -90 degree.

Let me start off by saying I'm not having a problem when rotating views in iOS6 after the app is open. This issue is only happening for me when the app is launched for the first time while in landscape. The new shouldAutorotate and supportedInterfaceOrientations methods are both called when launched, however none of the rotation methods are called, like willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration:. (shouldAutorotate is always returning YES, and supportedInterfaceOrientations is always returning UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll)
In iOS5, the 'first' orientation to landscape on launch was taken care of automatically. Is there an explanation for why the device wouldn't call this first landscape rotation in iOS6? (The view controller I'm checking is the root controller of the window/app delegate).
Thanks in advance for any help with and insight into this.
I suppose that since the interface is not actually rotating, that the method isn't being called.
If you want to do some setup based on the orientation, have you thought of using the view controller's intefaceOrientation property?
You should now use the viewWillLayoutSubviews method and not willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration:. The reason is because willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration: is not guaranteed to be called in a number of situations.
This is stated in the iOS6 release notes among other places.
I'm having a weird issue with an iPad app I'm writing.
I want to add a UIToolbar to my main view controller (set as root view controller in the app delegate). Within this main view controller, I support only landscape orientations. When I set the frame for my toolbar, however, it seems that the ipad still thinks it's in portrait mode! What I mean by this is when I run this line:
[_toolbar setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [[self view] frame].size.width, 44)];
The width of the toolbar is only 768, rather than 1024, even though the width of the screen at this point is clearly 1024, because the toolbar extends across only 2/3 of the screen. I'm having similar problems with placing subviews, and getting really weird placement on my main view controller.
Has anyone else run into problems like this? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks!
You should use the view's bounds, instead of frame, and you should not execute your code too early in the view's life cycle.
If you invoke your code from the control's viewDidAppear, then I guess it will work. But if you invoke your code from viewWillAppear, then it is too early.
I have a strange problem when using a UIScrollView controller combined with iPhone 4 and iOS 5.1.
I have a UIScrollView which has a content size of 640x480 (double screen effectively) and in addition to the swipe to switch between the two "screens" I also permit the user to tap the screen in response to which I call something like...
[scrollView scrollRectToVisible:(CGRectMake 320,0,320,480) animated:YES];
the first 320 would be 0 if the tap occurred whilst the right hand side of the scroll view was displayed (note the scroll view has paging enabled so it can only come to rest either fully left or fully right).
I also have a situation where I sometimes display an additional view controller modally using presentModalViewController over this view controller containing the scroll view.
Everything works perfectly until the modal view controller is presented and subsequently dismissed after which the scrollRectToVisible method will no longer work if animated is set to YES (if I change animated to NO then it works as expected). Note, the tap is still being registered and the scrollRectToVisible being called, it just doesn't do anything when animated is set to YES).
Here's the kicker, this bug only occurs on an iPhone 4 runnings iOS 5.x.
It works perfectly (even after the modal view controller has been displayed) on my:
iPhone 3G running 4.x,
iPhone 3GS running 3.x,
iPod touch (2nd Gen) running 4.x
and most surprisingly the simulator running 5.x.
I wondered if this was a bug in the animation system so disabled the animation on the modal view controller presentation and dismiss and this had no effect, problem still occurred on the iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.
Anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing this and how I might work around it?
Finally tracked this down. what a pig...
I'm embedding a view from a view controller as a subview of another view controllers view. So my scroll view contains a view which also has an associated view controller.
Prior to iOS 5.x the methods viewWillAppear, viewWillDisappear, viewDidAppear and viewWillDisappear are never called on the sub views view controllers, only the main view controller. Already knowing this I set up my main view controller to manually call the sub views view controllers methods when these events happen.
However it appears that in iOS 5.x this issue has been "fixed" so where I was manually passing the call to viewWillAppear to my sub view controller I no longer need do this under 5.x as the method automatically gets called under 5.x - as a result it's now being called twice under 5.x but still only once when running on a 4.x or earlier device.
As a result, under 5.x my NSTimer used to call my updateUI method is being created twice, but because in viewDidDisappear I only destroy the timer if it is non nil it only gets destroyed once - therefore I'm leaking NSTimers under 5.x through double allocation where I'm not under 4.x.
As a result of multiple NSTimers hanging around all repeatedly calling my updateUI method is that the constant updating of the UI is killing the animation system and so the animation for the scrollView fails when running on an actual device. I guess it continued working OK on the simulator running 5.x as the CPU in the Mac is more than capable of handling the extra workload and still performing the animations correctly.
A simple check in my viewWillAppear method to ensure the NSTimer hasn't already been created has fixed the problem and has kept compatibility with 4.x and earlier.
I frustratingly run up against these kinds of issues every time Apple update their iOS by major versions... The morale of this story is don't assume that long standing classes still exhibit the same behaviour under different revisions of the OS.
I had the same problem. I realized that after modalViewController is dismissed my UIScrollerView shifts downs by 20px, which is the same height as status bar. So, it means when my UIViewController is loaded and UIScrollView is created, UIScrollView thinks there is no status bar, when actually it is there.
So I tried to put in viewDidLoad:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
Now my UIScrollView always stays under status bar, with Y position 20px. It never shifts down.
I finally managed to get this working on an iPhone4 running 5.1. Ensuring the bounces horizontally property for the scroll view is set fixed the problem, though why having this unchecked should cause the problem in the first place is beyond me - I'm pretty certain this is a bug in iOS.
