What common errors does this skill help resolve?

This skill specifically addresses 'Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints' errors, ambiguous layout warnings, and views that are incorrectly sized or positioned.

How does it help identify views from memory addresses?

It provides LLDB techniques to inspect registers, change view background colors in real-time, and print view hierarchies to map memory addresses to specific UI components.

What is the recommended prevention strategy included?

The skill emphasizes naming constraints and views using identifiers, which transforms cryptic memory addresses in error logs into human-readable names.

Does this work for both Storyboards and programmatic UI?

Yes, the debugging workflow covers identification and resolution strategies for constraints created both in Interface Builder and via Swift or Objective-C code.

Mobile Development

Streamlines the resolution of iOS Auto Layout constraint conflicts and layout errors through a systematic debugging workflow.

About

The Axiom Auto Layout Debugging skill provides a comprehensive methodology for diagnosing and resolving complex layout issues in modern xOS development. It guides developers through identifying 'Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints' errors, fixing ambiguous layouts, and utilizing LLDB and symbolic breakpoints to pinpoint the exact source of failure. By implementing these systematic patterns, developers can reduce the time spent on layout troubleshooting from hours to minutes, while also learning preventative naming conventions that improve code maintainability and error readability.
