CALayer not resizing with Autolayout

Question

I have created a progress bar to be used in a tableView by creating a gradient layer. It works perfectly.

As an alternative to the accepted answer, you could also change the views layer class to be CAGradientLayer. The views layer will always be resized according to layout changes. You can achieve that by subclassing UIView

class GradientView: UIView {
  override class func layerClass() -> AnyClass {
    return CAGradientLayer.self
  }
}

then set the colors

if let gradientLayer = gradientView.layer as? CAGradientLayer {
  gradientLayer.colors = arrayColors
}

It's less code than adding and maintaining a sublayer, but might not suit all use cases.
