Can't change the size of View Element in Xcode (Swift)

Question

I am new to iOS Dev and Xcode.

I was trying to practice Auto Layouts in Xcode.

So I was faced with a problem where I wanted to have my score label 20 points from the left side of stack view. So I embedded my label in a UIview element and was able to constraint it to 20 points from left. However, it seems like my UIview element's size has been locked and I am unable to reduce its size.

I want my view element to take same height as my score label which is like 71.5 points but it turns out that minimum height that can be reached for this UIview element is 333.5 as you can see in the image above.

So, how can I reduce its height and did I do anything wrong?

Answer 1

You can delete the MyView.top = top constraint.

Your "Score:" label already has top , leading and trailing constraints to MyView , so add a bottom = Score:.bottom constraint. That will tell the bottom of the white MyView to stick to the bottom of the label.

You may also need to set the Score label's Content Hugging vertical priority to Required (1000) .

That should do it.
