AutoLayout and UITableViewCell prototypes in Interface Builder

Question

I have a UITableViewCell subclass and after turning on Auto Layout I now get this error :

2013-01-29 15:46:15.555 iP2[6690:907] *** Assertion failure in -[MenuTableViewCell layoutSublayersOfLayer:], /SourceCache/UIKit/UIKit-2372/UIView.m:5776
2013-01-29 15:46:30.357 iP2[6690:907] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Auto Layout still required after executing -layoutSubviews. MenuTableViewCell's implementation of -layoutSubviews needs to call super.'

MenuTableViewCell being my sub class.

This is all to do with how IB has decided to auto-build the constraints for this cell I guess. Here's a screenshot of my IB setup for this cell : https://www.evernote.com/shard/s4/sh/0ec12042-7d37-4770-8d7a-c0c8c1e4e6f0/3192e32e8fde55dfe94c7269c428f73b

No. So I assume that UITableViewCell is, and this may not be calling super. — Lee Probert, Jan 30 '13 at 09:52
when you call addSubview call layoutSubviews [tableCell addSubview:viewFromXib]; [tableCell layoutSubviews]; — A'sa Dickens, Jun 12 '13 at 20:30

Turning off auto-layout fixed this for me, it seems like UITableViewCell doesn't support auto-layout, so you can subclass it and use auto layout in your design...

what evidence do you have that UITableViewCell doesn't support auto-layout? – Max MacLeod Apr 24 '13 at 15:43
From what I remember, I subclassed UITableViewCell, and got the OPs crash even though I wasn't overriding layoutSubviews. – marmor Apr 24 '13 at 15:48

Could it be that you have to implement the layoutSubviews method? And it seems that you have send this message to super too. For example:

(void)layoutSubviews { [super layoutSubviews]; etc... }

I included -(void)layoutSubviews { [super layoutSubviews]; } in case it was something crazy like that; but it still throws the error. I have a feeling that UITableViewCell may not be calling super in IT'S layoutSubViews method. – Lee Probert Jan 30 '13 at 09:56
