iPad 4.3 UIButtons not working when animation is animating - objective-c

I have a button that moves up to the center of the screen. I also have images around the screen that are animating. When you click on the button in iPad 5.0, it works. However, it doesn't even respond to a click or a "Touch Down" event in 4.3. I noticed it only has this problem when there's something animating on the page. Any ideas?

From UIView Class Reference:
During an animation, user interactions are temporarily disabled for the views being animated. (Prior to iOS 5, user interactions are disabled for the entire application.) If you want users to be able to interact with the views, include the UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction constant in the options parameter.

Animate view and set button backgroundimage conflict

I am making a type of drawer animation for iOS where a button tap in one of my views will expand that view over the other views from the bottom up. All is well, except when I want to change the button image after animation. The animation completes but then returns the view to its original position when setting the button image.
Things I have tried:
Using CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation instead of setCenter; this works perfectly, except I want to also add a panGestureRecognizer to interact with the drawer, present, and dismiss it. The transform doesn't seem to play well with this interaction
Adding the buttons programmatically thinking maybe AutoLayout is fussing with this
UIView beginAnimations as well as UIView animateWithDuration and completion block
Setting breakpoints and verifying that the movement of the view is reflected in the frame of the button before the image is changed; button frame is not still in original position, but has supposedly relocated with the view
It shouldn't matter, but my project is using TabBarController. I made a simpler version of what I'm trying to do with just the one view controller and had the same issue. The green view extends beyond the frame of the view controller's view so that when it moves up it reveals what is off-screen.

how to do a "app launch like" fade - zoom ios 7 transition?

I need to achieve the IOS7 app launch transition, in which the the detail view appears with fade effect according to the rectangle frame of the button that fired this view, as described in the image below:
So I have a main ViewController with six buttons, I want to make transition to the details viewControllers with fade and zoom effect, and starting the animation depending of the button frame.
I found RZTransitions, amazing collection of custom transitions, it does exactly what I want but for uicollectionView, I tried but can't get working to do the same for a viewController.
Thanks.

xCode - Why can't I see this object on the view?

This might be a silly question, but why in the world can't I see the the following button that I simply dragged and dropped to the view from the interface builder?
I am using Simulator iPhone Retina (3.5 inch) / iOS 7. When I try to scroll to the bottom, the scrolling ends and I cannot see the button that I placed at the bottom. Why is that? Thanks.
EDIT: I didn't do anything fancy. I simply created a new single view app, and then dragged the button to the bottom of the view on storyboard and then clicked run.
Storyboard simulate size of 4 inch display. When you run it on 3.5 inch display, content at the bottom of the screen will be clipped.
Just add constraints to attach button to bottom of the screen.

UIButton not responsive while scrolling

I have a subview with a UIButton added to a UIScrollView.
The button is working perfectly as long as the user isn't scrolling.
If the UIScrollView is still scrolling when the user clicks on the button, it just stops the scrolling instead(like if a row had been clicked).
Anyone know how to fix this?
First, make sure this really is the behavior you want - iOS users are used to scrolling views and touching to stop them with a tap without triggering button presses. Non-standard behavior (even when you think its better then the standard behavior) can be confusing to users used to how things work in other iOS apps - it can violate their mental model. Ok, note of caution over.
So how do you fix this? UIScrollView delays sending touch events until it knows if those touches are scroll events. You problem is a user tapping is a scroll event when the UIScrollView is moving. Two possible solutions:
Stop the UIScrollView from delaying any touch events it gets. You can set any scroll views delaysContentTouches to NO, which will stop the delaying action and should allow your buttons to be tapped while scrolling. You can read about it in the UIScrollView class documentation. You will also want to read up on canCancelContentTouches there as well.
Subclass the UIScrollView to add your own logic about where touch events should go. Here is a blog post that discusses how to do this.

How to have a UIView appear from the middle of the screen

I looked at Apple's UIModalTransitionStyle, but didn't see what I was looking for. I want to do the same thing that the Facebook iPhone App does; when you touch on a button on the Facebook's homescreen, the new UIView appears (and then disappears when you are done) from the middle of the screen. I would like to implement similar transitions in my iPhone app, and I was wondering if there was a quick way to do it (already precoded), and if not, how would I code it so I can do the same thing?
Edit: To clarify, the transition should have the UIView grow out of the middle of the screen, and then it fills up the entire view. When the user dismisses the view, the view shrinks into the middle of the screen, getting smaller until it has disappeared. Just like in the Facebook app.
Thank you!
myView.center = parentView.center
where myView is your new UIView that is appearing and parentView is the view that holds the button or else you could reference the application's window.
