It looks to me like you are using size class and you went into a particular size class and added these views. Now you are back in Any size class, so the views are not there (that is why they are greyed out in the document outline at the left). They are available only for that particular size class. If you switch back to it again, whatever it was, you will see them again. Basically, you have created conditional views - the condition being that they are present only when that particular size class situation is the case.

In other words, if you want your layout to apply in the general case, you want to start by creating and editing it under Any size classes. Only then do you switch to a particular size class and modify the layout for that particular size class.

when i run my app all ui element visible in my device

Yes, because on your device the particular size class situation matches the size class you were editing when you added those views. So there they are. That seems to me to prove my guess is right.

  • I changed it to wCompact hCompact and it works fine. – Bernard Oct 19 '15 at 01:05
  • Awesome, been trying to figure this out for days. – Derek Hewitt Dec 10 '15 at 05:20
  • In my case, I was added my `ViewControllers` `UI` selecting `wCompact hRegular` and try to show them in `wAny hAny`. That's why the controllers were in disable mode. After changing it to `wCompact hRegular`, the controllers are now showing as usually. Thanks :) @matt – Tulon Jan 15 '16 at 12:51

I have the same issue while copy a ViewController to another storyboard.

Fixed by following steps:

1: Select the viewController

2: Click on 5th Tab

3: Set the simulated size to Fixed.

Select install: Since all components [like label,textfield,buttons] are in disable mode, one select Installed check mark its will be enable again adjust constrain accordingly.

The size must be the same, in all xcode storyboard

In my case, it was due to me setting alpha to 0.0 and forgetting it.
