The difficulty is that you’ve never actually said what the problem was with 
*not* using autolayout. You wrote:

Assuming that the subviews of the content view are already in the view 
hierarchy (they were there in the nib, or you just added them 
programmatically), and autolayout is turned off for the content view, then the 
way to set the size and position of the subviews is to call ‘setFrame:’ on each 
one. That’s the way it was done before autolayout existed, and it should still 
work just fine when autolayout is not turned on.

The ‘layout’ method *isn’t* the obvious or correct place to do this, because 
it’s API that belongs specifically to the autolayout ecosystem.

Did you try just setting the frames of your subviews?
