[Solved] How to use autoresize on 2 UIViewControllers? [closed]

Question

Well, part of the problem is that this is illegal:

[UIViewControllers1.view addSubview:UIViewControllers2.view];

You must never just wantonly add one view controller’s view to another view controller’s view. There is only one way in which that is allowed outside of a built-in parent-child structure that does it for you (UINavigationController, UITabBafController, UIPageViewController), and that is when you create your own elaborate custom parent-child structure – and you are not doing that. The architecture needed for doing that is described in my book here:

To be clear, there is nothing whatever wrong with adding a view to another view! The ability to make views come and go is crucial to iOS. What’s wrong is that you must not add a view controller’s view to another view, except under the parent-child view controller architecture, built-in or custom.
