The above link has the answer! Well, it has a workaround, anyway.

This problem seems to be caused, although I couldn’t say if it was directly or indirectly, by the Storyboard "Use Size Classes” option being checked (visible in the File Inspector right side bar of the Storyboard file. No idea exactly why, but I bet it has something to do with the way that the Size Classes set up uses unique seeming views when looking between classes. Just a hunch with no substantiation, but it kind of makes sense in a terrible, why-oh-why kind of way.

The Size Classes are the ‘fun’ new thing whereby you capture several form factors at once using the Storyboard. They are apparently still full of growing pains or else require alternate approaches, as given in this example. (Actually, they seem pretty neat. Well, potentially neat.)

Threw me for a loop – I was working through something to POC some stuff for a project I’m working on and thought I had somehow completely forgotten how UITableViews work. Very frustrating feeling!

So, you have an app that is heavy with texts. What do you do to "solve" it? You've selected beautiful fonts, text color and etc, but something still doesn't seem right. It still feels heavy. There isn't a breathing space. 

Firstly, what does it mean to have an app that is heavy with text? The best example would be like news apps. Surely, there are images and appropriate style of text to ease with the readability. But it's still too cluttered. What's the one way to help with the user experience reading through the app? Provide space between texts. Best example? Facebook app. It has lots of text, but there is something light about the app. If you actually see it, there is spaces between each posts. And that's what we're gonna take a look at. 

Is it difficult to create this effect? 

NO! (pheeww...you can read on)

  How do I create this cardlike-tableview effect????

1. Having the regular tableview all set up.

2. Create a custom uitableviewcell. And subclass the tableviewcell to the custom uitableviewcell you just created.

3. Drag in a UIView on to the custom uitableviewcell. (This is the part "secret" ingredient)

4. Place what ui elements (uilabels presumably) that you wish on to the uiview. 

5. Hook them up as a property to the uitableviewcell.

6. Populate whatever you want in tableview's delegate method cellForRowAtIndexPath

7. Set the tableview's separator style to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone

8. Set the the custom uitableviewcell's color to something other than white (maybe a light gray)

9. RUN THE APP!! 

10. Watch the Cardlike-table effect take place! =]

Sample code is as below

-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

{

    return 5;

}

-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

{

    CardTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"CellID"];

    cell.name.text = @"Clark Kent";

    cell.age.text = @"20";

    cell.gender.text = @"Male";

    cell.occupation.text = @"Superhero";

    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

    return cell;

}

With the release of Xcode 6, a curious omission has forced some iOS developers into a mad Google scramble. This option is not used by all, or even many, but it is a rather helpful educational choice and the perfect state for those who seek total control of the project. There is no more Empty Application option when starting a new project in Xcode 6.

Getting the old familiar Empty Application is, however, not to difficult. The following steps will prepare a blank slate for a new project in Xcode 6.

Create a New Project, and choose the Single View Application option. 

In the Project Manager, delete Main.Storyboard and LaunchScreen.xib.

In the Supporting Files folder, select Info.plist. Remove "Main storyboard file base name" and "Launch screen interface file base name”.

Open AppDelegate.m, and edit application:DidFinishLaunchingWithOptions: so that it matches the following:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { 

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; 

//  Override point for customization after application launch. 

self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; 

return YES;

How does one create a Python friendly environment in Xcode 6?

Answer [by Edvinauskas]: Python in Xcode 6

You should try PyDev plug in for Eclipse. I tried alot of editors/IDE’s to use with python, but the only one i liked the most is the PyDev plugin for Eclipse. It has code completion, debugger and many other nice features. Plus both are free.

I’ve not seen any previous references to this from googling around.
