I want to use the Top Layout Guide in the UIScrollView through Auto Layout. Without the UIScrollView Auto Layout works well with Top

Answer 1

While algal's answer seems to have worked prior to iOS 9.0 it is unnecessarily complicated and broken beyond iOS 9.0. The easier way that also works beyond iOS 9.0 and requires no interaction with auto layout is to simply do the following:

1. Ensure Adjust Scroll View Insets is checked for the ViewController in Interface Builder (or set automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets to true programmatically).
2. Set the class of the ViewController's root View to UIScrollView in Interface Builder (or replace it (self.view) manually with an UIScrollView in code).
