In this technique project you're going to learn more about Auto Layout, the powerful and expressive way iOS lets you design your layouts. We used it in project 2 to make sure our flag buttons were positioned correctly, but that project has a problem: if you rotate your device, the flags don't fit on the screen!
So, we're first going to fix project 2 so that it demonstrates more advanced Auto Layout techniques (while also making the flags stay on the screen correctly!), then take a look at ways you can use Auto Layout in code.
First: take a copy of project 2, call it project6a, then open it in Xcode. All set? Then let's begin…
BUILD THE ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP Most Swift tutorials help you solve one specific problem, but in my Ultimate Portfolio App series I show you how to get all the best practices into a single app: architecture, testing, performance, accessibility, localization, project organization, and so much more, all while building a SwiftUI app that works on iOS, macOS and watchOS.
