Hi Ken, I uploaded a sample project here:
https://github.com/djfitz/TestAutolayoutAnimations I tried to strip this down to what is needed to show the behavior I see. My code to actually do the animation is this: - (IBAction)animateIt:(id)sender { static BOOL small = NO; if( small ) { [self.view layoutIfNeeded]; self.containerWidthConstraint.constant = self.view.frame.size.width; [UIView animateWithDuration:1 animations: ^{ [self.view layoutIfNeeded]; }]; } else { [self.view layoutIfNeeded]; self.containerWidthConstraint.constant = self.view.frame.size.width / 2; [UIView animateWithDuration:1 animations: ^{ [self.view layoutIfNeeded]; }]; } small = !small; } 'container view' has one subview which is a UILabel. The label is pinned to the superview edges via autolayout constraints. (e.g. trailing, leading, top, bottom edges all pinned to superview edges.) I tried a few different variations, including leaving out the first layoutIfNeeded (which some people say should be done, others not). The exact behavior is that the label will resize to the new size immediately and reflow the text, then the container view will animate it's size change. It would be nice if both the label and the container view animate at the same time. Also, as I mentioned, a button will exhibit the same behavior, probably because it has a UILabel inside it to show the button text. Thanks again for any ideas.
