Answer 1

Carrying on Skeet Skeet point .

I implemented your approach it worked well but after coming in the viewcontroller multiple times legal label y keeps on decreasing as you see the logic it always displaces itself. so instead changing centre i propose

we change frame

UILabel *attributionLabel = [mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1];
    attributionLabel.frame = CGRectMake(20, self.view.frame.size.height - 135, attributionLabel.frame.size.width, attributionLabel.frame.size.height); 
\\135 is height of your bottom view that was hiding legal

Answer 2

Swift 4+

You can change the position of those by setting the layoutMargins of the mapView.

For example this will push it off from the bottom:

mapView.layoutMargins.bottom = -100

Also you can change edge insets you need all at once:

mapView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: -100, right: 0)

Answer 3

This is still possible in iOS 7, but only (?) if placed in viewDidAppear. The coords are reset if placed in viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear.

    UILabel *attributionLabel = [mapView.subviews objectAtIndex:1];
    attributionLabel.center = CGPointMake(attributionLabel.center.x, attributionLabel.center.y - 44.0f);

@Dymtro's answer works well for me, but I would suggest checking the size of the subviews first. This should at least prevent possible crashes if the view hierarchy changes in the future:

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    positionLegalMapLabel()
}

func positionLegalMapLabel() {
    if self.mapView.subviews.count > 1 {
        let legalMapLabel = self.mapView.subviews[1]

        legalMapLabel.frame.origin = CGPointMake(self.mapView.bounds.size.width - legalMapLabel.frame.size.width - 7, legalMapLabel.frame.origin.y)
    }
}

Answer 5

I wrote extension that worked for me. It can be used in animation block to animate those changes:

import MapKit

extension MKMapView {

  /// Workaround for layoutMargins bug.
  func setLegalInsets(left: CGFloat, bottom: CGFloat) {
    let oldLeft = layoutMargins.left
    let oldBottom = layoutMargins.bottom

    let lblLegal = (subviews.filter { view in
      return view is UILabel
      }).first

    lblLegal?.frame.origin.x += left - oldLeft
    lblLegal?.frame.origin.y -= bottom - oldBottom

    layoutMargins.left = left
    layoutMargins.bottom = bottom
  }
}

These methods no longer work on iOS 7. Correct way is to specify bottomLayoutGuide on your UIViewController. Described in detail here
