This error is logged to the console when some part of the code is changing UI items from other threads than the main thread. But how can I find where it does this?

Auto Layout defines your user interface using a series of constraints. Constraints typically represent a relationship between two views. Auto Layout then calculates the size and location of each view based on these constraints. This produces layouts that dynamically respond to both internal and external changes.
What is Auto Layout? Auto Layout is a constraint-based layout system designed for building dynamically sized user interfaces. It lets you create user interface layouts that dynamically adapt for all screen sizes without manually setting the frame of every view.
Auto layout is a property you can add to frames and components. It lets you create designs that grow to fill or shrink to fit, and reflow as their contents change. This is great when you need to add new layers, accommodate longer text strings, or maintain alignment as your designs evolve.
Auto Layout constraints allow us to create views that dynamically adjust to different size classes and positions. The constraints will make sure that your views adjust to any size changes without having to manually update frames or positions.
Main problem with "This application is modifying the autolayout engine from a background thread" is that it seem to be logged a long time after the actual problem occurs, this can make it very hard to troubleshoot.
I managed to solve the issue by creating three symbolic breakpoints.
Debug > Breakpoints > Create Symbolic Breakpoint...
Breakpoint 1:
Symbol: -[UIView setNeedsLayout]
Condition: !(BOOL)[NSThread isMainThread]
Breakpoint 2:
Symbol: -[UIView layoutIfNeeded]
Condition: !(BOOL)[NSThread isMainThread]
Breakpoint 3:
Symbol: -[UIView updateConstraintsIfNeeded]
Condition: !(BOOL)[NSThread isMainThread]
With these breakpoints, you can easily get a break on the actual line where you incorrectly call UI methods on non-main thread.
