navigation bar rightbaritem image-button bug iOS 11

Question

This code works ok in ios10. i get my label and an image button which is the user photo profile, circular round.. ok. but when running xcode 9 ios11 simulator i get it streched out. the button frame has to be 32x32 , when checking on the sim and getting the view and telling xcode to describe the view i get output as 170x32 or somethint like that.

heres my code.

let labelbutton = UIButton( type: .system)
    labelbutton.addTarget(self, action:#selector(self.toLogin(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
    labelbutton.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)
    labelbutton.contentHorizontalAlignment = .right
    labelbutton.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 18.00)



    let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
     button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(self.toLogin(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
     button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 32, height: 32)
     button.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)
     button.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .highlighted)


    var buttomItem : UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem()
    buttomItem.customView = button
    buttomItem.target = self
    buttomItem.action = "ToLogin"

    var labelItem : UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem()
    labelItem.customView = labelbutton
    labelItem.target = self
    labelItem.action = "ToLogin"


    if let user = PFUser.current() {
        print("LOGIN : checkiando si existe usuario ")
            labelbutton.setTitle(USERNAME, for: UIControlState.normal)
            labelbutton.sizeToFit()

        if(user["profile_photo_url"] != nil) {
            print(" ENCONTRO PROFILE PHOTO URL NOT NIL Y ES \(user["profile_photo_url"])")
            let photoURL = user["profile_photo_url"] as! String
            let a = LoginService.sharedInstance
            a.downloadImage(url: photoURL, complete: { (complete) in

                if (complete) {

                    button.setImage(LoginService.sharedInstance.profile_photo! , for: UIControlState.normal)

                    button.layer.cornerRadius = 0.5 * button.bounds.size.width
                   // button.imageView!.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
                   // button.imageView!.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 40, height: 40)
                    //button.imageView!.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
                    //button.imageView!.clipsToBounds = true
                    //button.imageView!.layer.cornerRadius = 60
                    button.clipsToBounds = true
                    self.NavigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [buttomItem,labelItem]
                }


            })
        } else {
                self.NavigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = labelItem

        }
            print(" EL FRAME DEL BUTTON ES \(button.frame)")

    } else {

        labelbutton.setTitle("Login", for: UIControlState.normal)
        labelbutton.sizeToFit()
        self.NavigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = labelItem

    }

Answer 1

Reason

The problem appears because from ios 11 UIBarButtonItem uses autolayout instead of dealing with frames.

Solution

You should add width constraint for this image-button if you use Xcode 9.

 button.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 32.0).isActive = true
 button.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 32.0).isActive = true

PS

button is not UIBarButtonItem, it is UIButton inside UIBarButtonItem. You should set constraint not for UIBarButtonItem, but for elements inside it.

Answer 2

Thanks all for contributing! you guys are right!. for xcode9 ios11 you need to put a constraint.

 let widthConstraint = button.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 32)
 let heightConstraint = button.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 32)
 heightConstraint.isActive = true
 widthConstraint.isActive = true

Answer 3

Objective C code is obsolete now. But for the user who has to build/maintain Objective C projects in iOS 11 has following translation from Swift ( Karoly Nyisztor answer ) to Objective C helpful.

//  UIView+Navbar.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UIView (Navbar)

- (void)applyNavBarConstraints:(CGFloat)width height:(CGFloat)height;

@end

//----------

//  UIView+Navbar.m

#import "UIView+Navbar.h"

@implementation UIView (Navbar)

- (void)applyNavBarConstraints:(CGFloat)width height:(CGFloat)height
{
    if (width == 0 || height == 0) {
        return;
    }

    NSLayoutConstraint *heightConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:nil attribute:NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute multiplier:1 constant:height];
    NSLayoutConstraint *widthConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:nil attribute:NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute multiplier:1 constant:width];
    [heightConstraint setActive:TRUE];
    [widthConstraint setActive:TRUE];
}

//----------

// Usage :-
[button applyNavBarConstraints:33 height:33];
