Container View made in Storyboard will not change frame programmatically

containers, ios, uiview, uiviewcontroller, xcode

Solution

The problem I had was the constraints set up in Storyboard were overriding the frame change. This explains why I wasn't having the same issues with programmatically added objects. All I had to do to turn off constraints for the project was to go to the `Storyboard.storyboard` file, then make sure the "Utilities" sidebar is open and select the "File Inspector" tab. Then I scrolled down under "Interface Builder Document" and deselected "Use Autolayout." After this, I reran the the project to find setting the frame programmatically did work.

Problem

I have a container view, `@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *containerView;`, but it won't move when I set its frame. Here is how I am trying: ``` - (void)setFramesForCategories { CGRect frame = _containerView.frame; frame.origin.x = 20; frame.origin.y = self.view.frame.size.height - 52; frame.size.width = 236; frame.size.height = 60 * [[_dataDict objectForKey:@"Key"] count]; _containerView.frame = frame; } ``` I know this is basic and it has worked for me before, when I was moving programmatically created objects, but it is not working for me now.
