I was using the technique mentioned on the answer bellow to add a view on top of a full screen movie. iphone: Preserve view on top of mpMoviePlayerController
Basically you simply add the view to the current shared application key window. Unfortunately this no longer works on iOS 8. The view is simply not shown. Any ideas?

New iOS requirements need Apps for iPhone or iPad must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later and use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen.
But my project is very old and has never used Storyboards. All UI elements are created dynamically using ViewControllers.
I managed to create a storyboard file and set it as a launcher but it has no scenes and I do not know how to proceed. I would like to:
Create a scene where I place only the original launch image inside (hoping that apple still accepts this branding)
If it is possible to just connect my main ViewController with the scene (if that works with dynamical ViewControllers)
If nothing helps than I would need to create a simple scene which has just a bottom bar like my ViewController
I had this exact issue, here's what I did:
Create LaunchScreen.storyboard and set to use it as launch screen
Using the + button in the top-right (this was not an obvious step), add a View Controller into the storyboard
Untick "Use Safe Area Layout Guides" on the right panel if you're getting that error
Tick "Is Initial View Controller"
Then clean and run, for me it just worked. I did have trouble seeing it update though, as discussed here: Launch Screen storyboard not displaying image
I'm just starting out on a new app with Xcode 9 and iOS 11. I placed a Toolbar at the bottom of the view, then added suggested constraints. Inside the toolbar I placed two buttons, "Sites" and "Item".
When I run the application, the toolbar disappears after a second whenever I launch the app.
Any idea what's causing this? How do I fix it? There's currently no code added to it, just the elements I've mentioned.
You are putting the elements on the launch screen instead of the actual first screen of the application.
If you are using the default configuration, search for the storyboard called Main.storyboard and put the items you want to show there.
I need to scroll to top the main Interface Controller of an Apple Watch app programmatically after each launch specially if users has left the app after scrolling it down.
EDIT:
This is now possible in watchOS 4. Just use the scrollToObject:atScrollPosition:animated: method.
Unfortunately, this isn't currently possible. WatchKit only provides a method to scroll to the top of a WKInterfaceTable, not an entire interface controller.
The only workaround I've found is to hide every element in the interface controller. This doesn't just hide the element, it completely removes it from the controller. Then when you unhide everything, you'll be back at the top of your content.
I have created new storyboard with auto layout enabled (image below).
The strange thing is the entire view is proportionally stretched. I can't figure out how to leave ratio 1:1. It is not about using auto layout I believe.
The images show the problem:
This image comes from clean app. It shows view on iPhone 6+ simulator. As you see the table cells are 1:1 (smaller then the following example). Also the status bar is fitting with size at the home screen.
This images comes from a new storyboard in existing app. The set up of the story board is exactly the same as in clean app. Moreover the .plist config is matching. As you can notice the cells are bigger, and the status bar is also bigger.
Is this a simulator bug?
I haven't got the device myself, but it was tested on device (6+) and the problem spotted.
What am I missing. Is it auto layout issue?
Ok, I have figured out the issue.
Basically if you face the same problem, just create .xib file for lunch view. Previously it it was image that we needed to add. With iOS8 it is .xib file that needs to be defined in Launch Screen File in General tab.
I'm trying to update an IOS app for IOS6 and iPhone 5, but I have a problem resizing some views from the main Storyboard.
When I click on the new "Apply Retina 4 Form Factor" button, some of the views included in the StoryBoard don´t resize. I´ve checked all the settings for every Scene and seem to be configured in the same way. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
You might have found your solution but I just had a similar problem. For future notice, I found the fix was in the show size inspector and instead of using layout rectangle, I used frame rectangle.
I was having the same problem, this answer worked for me and finally removed the letterbox:

So add a 640x1136 launch image called Default-568h#2x.png and set the "Retina (4-inch)" target setting to it. More info for the other sizes here:

Just in case it helps others, I had tried these links and none of them got rid of the letterbox, but they did at least enable the resize masks:
