UIButton won't go to Aspect Fit in iPhone

Question

I have a couple UIButtons, and in IB they're set to Aspect Fit, but for some reason they're always stretching. Is there something else you have to set? I tried all the different view modes and none of them work, they all stretch.

Answer 1

The solution is to set the contentMode on the imageView property of the UIButton. The UIButton has to be created with custom type for this to work I believe (otherwise nil is returned for this property).

Answer 2

This method worked for me very well.:

In Xib select the button and set user defined runtime attributes:

• Key path: self.imageView.contentMode
• Type: Number
• Value: 1

We use number because you cant use enum there. But the UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit is equal to 1.
