[nfbcs] Auto layout

Fri Mar 10 20:36:57 UTC 2017

In the xCode window, choose product>destination, then the simulator you want to use (iPhone 6,6s, iPad...). Activate that item to choose it. When you are ready to test your app, press CMD+R and wait for the simulator to appear. Left click the simulator window with CTRL+OPTION+SHIFT+SPACE (or known as VO+SHIFT+SPACE). Use right/left arrows to navigate your user interface. Make sure quick nav is turned on by pressing left and right arrows at the same time. When you navigate to a control you want to check, press VO+CMD+SHIFT+F3 to check position and size.

How are you able to do this?

For example, a label that spans 30% of the screen height. I had a picker that ended up 2 inches tall, truncating all of my buttons next to it and forcing part of a label off the top of the screen behind the status bar. Touch exploration never told this because VoiceOver still read the entire contents of the controls. The simulater told me of my problems, and I was able to fix them in a matter of a few minutes.
