In the lower right corner of the Interface Builder, click the dropdown that says “iOS 7.0 and Later” and change it to “iOS 6.1 and earlier”. By default, it will show you iOS7 short screen on the left and iOS7 tall screen on the right. This will open up a split screen view of the interface. Next, in the upper right corner of the screen, click the “Assistant” view button. In Xcode 5, open your storyboard or view you want to edit. It’s tempting to start rearranging everything that looks out of place and get your app back to a functioning state, but before you do, here is a handy trick to help you maintain the usability of pre-iOS 7 devices as well.
The height and the spacing have been altered in a way that causes your iOS 7 layout and iOS 6 layout to differ in vertical placement. One of these issues is the drastic change in how the UI Navigation Bar is presented (aka the Title Bar). To Apple’s credit, the vast majority of your interface should still layout properly, but there are some common issues. Open up your Storyboard or any view and you’ll see what I mean.
Storyboard quick 6.1 upgrade#
Once you upgrade your Xcode project for iOS 7, you’ll notice things have changed considerably in the Interface Builder. Here is a quick tip to help you on your journey. The major difference is obviously the new UI style, and chances are some components of your app are not going to transition smoothly between iOS 6 (or less) and iOS 7. The next time you open a pre iOS 7 app in the new Xcode 5, you’re going to be prompted to upgrade the project for iOS 7. Like it or not, iOS 7 is here and it’s not going anywhere.
