I have a iOS app that is worked well on all devices in iOS 6. I recently upgraded my Xcode to version 5.0 and tried to build the same app for IOS 7 on a IPhone 5. On building the app, the XCode upgraded something in the code settings, but failed to build with errors. On the IPad XIB, I get a error: "Illegal configuration:auto Layout on IOS Versions prior to 6.0". I tried enabling and disabling the "Use AutoLayout" checkbox in the File Inspector, but it didn ' t work. Please help me fixing this issue. iOS AutoLayout iOS7 ShareImprove this question Edited Sep "at 4:54 Asked Sep one ' at 8:08Metsburg 1,30217

Up vote76down voteaccepted	Your problem is the ' Deployment Target ' for Your project is ' 5.0 ' and you are using a Featu Re that isn ' t available for IOS 5. Check the ' General ' tab for your build target and update it to @ Least 6.0 to use Auto Layout shareimprove this answer answered  sep one ' at 9:45 David rönnqvist 31.8k 1382124
	2 Yes, but the same code, when compiled in Xcode 4.6.3, works fine. EVEVN with deployment target as low as 4.3. –metsburg Sep One ' at 10:17 1 Agreed. I tried that and didn ' t see the error despite setting the deployment target to 5.0–max MacLeod Sep one ' at 10:20< /c3> Add a Comment

In your. xib file in Xcode 5, click on the offending control. Go to the Properties menu in the right and click on the "File Inspector" tab. It is the tab, the looks like a sheet of paper. On the tab, there is a section called "Interface Builder Document". Make sure ' Builds for ' property was set for "IOS 6.0 and later". If none of the other fixes above has worked, this is likely your culprit. ShareImprove this answer answered Sep ' at 23:57Christine 55038

I hope I can help you. ----–christine Sep ' at 17:52 This is the fixed it for me. The original value is Project Deployment (which I already set to 6.0) but it still didn ' t work with that setting. –radj Sep at 8:09 I was had this same problem after updating Xcode. This worked perfectly for me. –ghostshaman Oct One ' at 18:12 This works for me. –tony Xu Nov ' at 0:29 Add a Comment

Assuming you is actually targeting only IOS 6.0+, it sounds as an issue related to upgrading Xcode. Sometimes, things can go awry when transitioning to a newer Xcode version. Here is some general tips can try: Clean the project (press CMD + Shift + K) Reset the Simulator (IOS Simulator menu item, "Reset Content and Settings") Restart Xcode Try building again, hopefully can now ShareImprove this answer answered Sep one ' at 10:17jrg-developer 4,9341

&nbs P;   no, that's doesn ' t work. And I ' m actually targeting IOS 5.0+. Does that mean we've had to change minimum deployment Target? –  metsburg sep" at 10:26 without going into much D Etail of Xcode 5 (I am under NDA ...), it seems like it's now + difficult to support IOS 5+. Apple seems to is strongly encouraging developers to support IOS 6+ only. IOS 7 makes some pretty radical changes in places that has made it difficult to even support 6.0+ ... to this regard, we H Ave dropped support for IOS 5 entirely. –  jrg-developer  Sep one ' at 10:29  Yes, agreed. I tried a few things but the only valid option seems to be upgrading the minimum deployment target. –metsburg Sep One ' at 11:00am Add a Comment

AutoLayout is a feature of iOS6.0 and later, If you need to support IOS 5, don ' t use auto layout. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewIniOS/Articles/iOS6.html#//apple_ref/doc/ Uid/tp40011812-sw1 Please go to through above doc, and check "What's New in iOS6.0" and serach for "Auto layout" https://discussions.apple.com/message/19879144#19879144 ShareImprove this answer answered Dec ' at 11:52Gaurav borole 1491
