UIView frames wrong in viewDidLayoutSubviews after upgrade to Xcode 8

Question

In each of my xibs it asked me what default device do I want to use. I chose iPhone 6 and updated the frames to the suggested ones. Now, any view that was affected in the viewWill or viewDidLayoutSubviews is messed up. They all have frames of CGRect(0, 0, 1000, 1000).

Here's my code:

self.headImage.layer.cornerRadius = ceilf(CGRectGetWidth(self.headImage.frame)/2);
self.headImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;

Wondering what's up with this and whether there is a solution. Thanks

Answer 1

I resolved my issue by calling

myOwnView.layoutIfNeeded() 

before getting the myOwnView.frame

Answer 2

If even viewDidLayoutSubviews gives you the wrong frame - calling layoutIfNeeded on layoutSubviews can do the trick!

override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()

    yourView.layoutIfNeeded()
    setGradientForYourView()

}
