   Hi, this video is very helpful! But i have a problem for custom uiview in XIB file that contain a tableview. My tableview was loaded in my VC, but i found that TableViewDelegate methods were not called. I checked tableview.datasource and delegate and they were already connected to my VC. But still, nothing happens (cellForRow:AtIndexPath and numberOfRowsInSection are still not called). I think the problem is with [self addSubview:self.view], but I'm not sure. Can you help me how to make Custom UIView with XIB, containing tableview in the customview. Thanks!

   Hi, very helpful video. Is there a way to make the view size adopt to the view constraints in the story board, without setting it's size in the xib file?

   You, Sir, are a genius.

   There are so many half arsed, half baked, hacky and horrible "solutions" to this all over the web and stack overflow.

   What you've got here isn't a solution. Its an explanation of why everyone else has been trying to solve the wrong problem. If you solve the right problem, as you do here, then there's no problem any more, because that's the right way to do it.

   Brilliant 🙂 Not just because you've solved my problem elegantly, but you've opened up my thinking too. Thanks.

   Did anybody manage to use a child class of WidgetView in the "setup" method? It would be useful to use a factory inside the method so that I can plug always a WidgetView view in a xib file but WidgetView's child class will be used under the hood.

   Great video Paul! I just can't see why Xcode hasn't got better support for this. Like the ability to add your own custom components to the component palette… But for now this is the as good as it gets.

    Great tutorial. I has getting funky sizes at runtime until I added code to set the frame size in the WidgetView setup method.

    CGRect newFrame = self.frame;
    newFrame.size = self.view.frame.size;
    self.frame = newFrame;
