UIStackView Tutorial - Programmatic - Xcode 11

In this Swift tutorial we'll discuss the power of the UIStackView and we'll create it programmatically. No storyboard. I'll show you the basics of setting up the UIStackView using the alignment of UIButtons in a survey as an example. UIStackViews can be very powerful and allow your user interface to adapt to many different screen sizes as well as landscape or portrait orientations.

This tutorial was built using Xcode 11 and Swift 5.1

See how to build in using Storyboard here:

If you like my teaching style, I've released my first iOS dev course which is all about the take-home project job interview for iOS developers.

Hi, I want to learn to build all my IOS apps programatically, but there isn’t many resources out there to do so, I was wondering how you learn to do this programatically, like where the information is available to build an entire app programatically, and the best places/resources to do this from. This is all new to me and I don't really like storyboards, but I have no idea where else to look as no other resource is helpful apart from yours. If you could let me know that would be really helpful. Thanks

Hey Sean, thanks and great video again! Just a quick question about the for loop with buttons. Is there a way to change button Text color by using another function? I made you tutorial and try to set the color using "setTitleColor(.yellow, for state: .normal)" but that gives an "not in scope" error and tried several things but with no result yet. Many thanks!

Hey love the content. Quick question would it be best to create everything programmatically or use story board?

Hello Sean I have a question, im using Xcode 11, and I can't create a navigationBar in app delegate, I try in ScenceDelegate but the view background color is black, and using app delegate the view appears but without the navigation bar, I don't use the SWiftUI, in Xcode 11 change to create the navigation ?.

I do this....
in Xcode 10 its ok....

window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
window.makeKeyandvisible()

let navigation = myViewController)
window.rootViewController = navigation
