为什么在Xcode中不同大小的Storyboard中无法使用某些代码？

Question

I am a low intermediate Xcode programmer. if I am not clear in something please bear with me and help me improve with feedback. Any feedback i am given, I will use to improve this question.

I am using Xcode 6

I am currently making an Iphone Game. I set it up as a single view application. My problem is making it work on different Size IPhones. At first, I did not know how to make Xcode pick the screens depending on which Iphone it is being played on, but I managed to make it work. My game is not using Auto Layout, it uses different storyboards in which the view controllers are different depending on the storyboard. For example: MainIphone6.Storyboard will have Iphone 6 view controllers.

My game consists of tapping image views (they do have tap gesture recognizers), after they are tapped the image view will pick a random point on the screen and move to it. the point has boundaries which I set so it will not go to places I don't want it to.

The first screen I made it work on was Iphone 5. It works perfectly. The second screen I made it work on was Iphone 4, the boundaries for the random positions are a little off do to the fact that it was originally programmed for iPhone 5, but I know how to fix this, that is not the problem.

The problem is that in my storyboards for Iphone 6 and 6 Plus, when the Image View is tapped, it doesn't move to the random point. This works on Iphone 5 and 4, but not on 6 and 6 plus.

Why doesn't my code work for this Storyboard, but it works on other storyboards, while it is the same code for all?

Note: I have speculated that it may be related to the linking of view controllers within story boards, because on iPhone 5 and 4 i can link with the modal segue, but in 6 and 6 plus, it says it is deprecated. I only mention this if it might help...

Answer 1

Hard to tell from just your description. Deprecated code will still work so I doubt it is that. Did you try changing you code so that the 6 and 6 plus used the working 5 Storyboard. If it does the 6 storyboard has a problem. In this case, kill the 6 Storyboards, duplicate the 5 Storyboard and modify it. Sounds like you may have been recreating each Storyboard anyway. In this situation I select the Storyboard in the Navigator and choose Duplicate from the File menu. This will save you some work and help guarantee that you do not make a mistake recreating all aspects of the Storyboard.

Also even if you do not want to use Autolayout, I would still use a single Storyboard and make the calculations in code.
