iOS: Programatic ScrollView not scrolling (contentSize set)

Question

I have created a scrollView in code and added several labels to it:

private let scrollView: UIScrollView = {
    let scrollView = UIScrollView()
    scrollView.backgroundColor = .systemTeal
    return scrollView
}()

In viewDidLoad:

view.addSubview(scrollView)
[view1, label1, label2, label3, label4, label5].forEach { scrollView.addSubview($0) }

setViewContraints()

Then in viewDidLayoutSubviews:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    scrollView.frame = view.bounds
    scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: view.width, height: view.height + 300)
}

The first view is anchored to the scrollview safeAreaLayoutGuide topAnchor, then each subsequent label's topAnchor is anchored to the bottom of the previous bottomAnchor. Every view's trailing and leading anchors are anchored to the scrollview's trailing and leading anchors. This is done in setViewConstraints().

view.width and view.height return view.frame.size.width and view.frame.size.height respectively.

All the content appears fine but the scrollView doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I realized I needed to set the bottomAnchor of my bottom-most view to the bottom anchor of the scroll view. That did the trick.
