Frame view did not appear in awakeFromNib

Question

I use autolayout in my view controller to align the uiview as if it were a navigation bar (aligned at the top, stretched to the back and front and 44 heights).

I have subclassed this view, and during awakeFromNib I want to add routines to it.

However, when I add these subviews (also with restrictions for the parent view), this does not work.

Initially, I thought that the restrictions were programmed incorrectly, however, after registering the presentation frame as follows:

 - (void)awakeFromNib { [super awakeFromNib]; NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGRect(self.frame)); } 

I get the following output:

 2012-11-27 03:25:25.976 myApp[8262:c07] {{0, 0}, {0, 0}} 

However, when I log in, for example, touchesBegan:withEvent: it registers the correct frame size.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I also tried to set setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO for all the views in question. But nothing works.

Thanks in advance!

When awakeFromNib is awakeFromNib , the view has not yet been created. The best way to get properties of any kind from a view in this method is to call [self view] before trying to access the properties.
