Interesting. I knew support for iOS was comming — didn’t know it would be ready by 1.5.
› A summary of what’s new in Xcode 7
Head over to this Medium post to get a nice summary of the things that are important to us developers, that Apple didn’t mention on its World Wide Developers Conference last monday.
New NSLayoutAnchor class
I was reading through iOS 9’s API diffs, and found this gem: NSLayoutAnchor.
Instead of creating an NSLayoutConstraint objects directly, you start with one of the UIView, NSView, or UILayoutGuide objects you wish to constrain, and select one of that object’s anchor properties.
// Creating constraints using NSLayoutConstraint
[NSLayoutConstraint
constraintWithItem:subview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeading
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeadingMargin
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0].active = YES;
[NSLayoutConstraint
constraintWithItem:subview
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailing
relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
toItem:self.view
attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTrailingMargin
multiplier:1.0
constant:0.0].active = YES;
// Creating the same constraints using Layout Anchors
UILayoutGuide *margin = self.view.layoutMarginsGuide;
[subview.leadingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:margin.leadingAnchor].active = YES;
[subview.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:margin.trailingAnchor].active = YES;
Amazing.
