Ohhh, so lovely.  

Honestly. The fact that Apple now actively prevents us from having access to 
such lovely, useful, EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND SEARCH documents like these is just 
so disappointing. 

Thank you Namesh.

I know it’s preaching to the choir, but not having access to documents like 
these and Apple no longer providing them IN THIS FORMAT and IN THIS LAYOUT is 
not helping to make our lives any easier.

Maybe Gruber will get the clue to simply MAKE THESE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO US 
AGAIN.

Honestly it’s simply idiotic to not have docs like this available and easily 
accessible.

My introduction to this exchange was not very clear. Jon Gruber was the 
journalist asking the question about a theory regarding Apple wanting everyone 
to switch to an iPad someday. The Apple executives listening to the question 
were Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi, and John Ternus each one a vice president. 
The fact that this discussion even took place was unprecedented for Apple.

Each vice president responded to the question assuring the journalists that 
Apple deeply cares about the Mac. Hopefully these executives will get the 
message that regardless of how sincerely they care about the Mac, Apple's 
current iPad and iPhone centric developer documentation is horrible on a Mac.

The sad part is that there’s still a lot of great documentation there; it’s 
just been made much harder to use ever since it was overhauled to add the 
Swift-centric version.  My particular pet peeve is if you look up a constant - 
in the older docs, it used to take you to a list of related constants, which 
often had references to the functions they were used with in the description at 
the end.  Now you just get a (typically) one line description of that constant, 
with no useful links to anything else.

IMO whoever at Apple is responsible for documentation has dropped the ball.  
Let’s hope they can turn it around.

Kind regards,

Alastair.

Button doesn't respond to touches in landscape mode

2017-05-19 Thread Doug Hill
I have a button in my view controller view in a storyboard. As far as I can 
tell, there's nothing particularly interesting about this button. Just a 
standard system button with a title.

When the device is in portrait mode, the button can be tapped anywhere in it's 
bounds to send control messages. When I rotate the device to landscape mode, I 
can only tap on a very small area on the top of the button. Otherwise, taps are 
ignored.

The button seems to layout with autolayout correctly, there are no autolayout 
warnings in the storyboard or at runtime. View debugging doesn't show anything 
weird about this button.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Re: Button doesn't respond to touches in landscape mode

2017-05-19 Thread Doug Hill
FWIW, I finally figured this out. There was a fully transparent view covering 
the button that had incorrect autolayout constraints. The problem would only 
manifest in landscape mode due to a bit of luck. Really staring at the view 
debugging tree helped me spot the overlapping view.

How is your button wired up?

What is its contentEdgeInsets?

If you override pointInside for the view of the button, what does it return 
when you tap on the button before and after rotating it??

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17249104/how-to-increase-selection-area-of-uibutton

If you are using constraints, remove them and see if that affects the hit 
region.

After rotating, there is a button you can click in the debugger that can show 
your view hierarchy and you can inspect each element

While running from Xcode you can also display the view hierarchy of the view 
controller or the button with [myButton.view recursiveDescription]

This should help:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5150186/how-do-i-inspect-the-view-hierarchy-in-ios

Good luck.
