I have been trying to figure this out for a long time now, either I am stupid, or Apple hav just made this really tricky. Storyboard Preview do not match simulator or device in xCode 6! I have added constraints so that the app looks just fine in all screen sizes in preview but it looks messed up when I run it in the simulator or on my device. help!
do you need any screenshots to answer my question?
I know other people have had the same issue but I can not find any answers.

The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators.
Open Xcode and click Menu > Xcode > Preferences > Select Components, and then choose the simulator version you want to download. When a simulator is opened from AppStudio, AppStudio Player automatically installs (if necessary) and opens in it.
To get this, open the storyboard, click the 'assistant' editor, click the 'assistant editor menu button' (immediately to the right of the > arrow at the top left of the assistant window) and select Preview.
The storyboard "Preview" doesn't match the simulator if you have any constraint errors/conflicts. I was having this problem, and found this question while searching for an answer. Once I got all of the conflicts resolved, the Preview worked. It seems like the preview should consistently show what the simulator would show to help during the setup, but it's all out of whack if there are conflicts.

Using Xcode 6.3.1 and I was having the same problem(s). What I discovered is that you are missing constraints... open main.storyboard in your "Structure" column you should see some red arrows, single click them and you should see what constraints you are missing.
