IOS7 : UIScrollView offset in UINavigationController

Question

OK so i found the solution, I have set in my controller the property:

self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false

I don't really understand the true benefit of this property though, (or why the default value is true)

The only documentation i found was there:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20160405135605/https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/TransitionGuide/AppearanceCustomization.html
• https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiviewcontroller/1621372-automaticallyadjustsscrollviewin

Update

In iOS 11 automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is deprecated

You should now use:

self.tableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never

I also encourage you to check this question and its answer to get a better understanding of those properties

@Justafinger's answer worked like a charm for me as well.

Just wanted to add that this setting can also be adjusted easily from the interface builder.

1. Select your view controller
2. Click the 'Attributes Inspector' tab
3. Uncheck 'Adjust Scroll View Insets'
4. Enjoy!

I was running into this same issue, but I found a rather odd property on the ViewController in interface builder that seems to have been causing this for me. There is an "Extend Edges" set of check boxes. I removed the "Under Top Bars" check, and everything started laying out properly for me.

With automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets set to YES (the default setting) there is a mismatch in scrollview positioning between ios6 and ios7, so to make them consistent you need to disable this setting. However, ios6 will crash if it comes across automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets, so you either need to make a programatic change of automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets conditional on ios7 or else switch off the option using the storyboard/NIB

I had a similar problem, after dismissing a viewController, the contentOffset from my tableView was changed to (0, -64).

my solution was a little weird, I tried all the other answers but had no success, the only thing that fixed my problem was to switch the tableView position in the controls tree of the .xib

it was the first control in the parent View like this:

I moved the tableView right after the ImageView and it worked:

it seems that putting the table view in the first position was causing the trouble, and moving the table view to another position fixed the problem.

P.D. I'm not using autoLayout neither storyboards

hope this can help someone!

I also face this problem.

UIScrollView content size is calculate by OS as other sizes, origins provided by constraint system - that's why OS has doubtfulness.

How to fix - You should explicitly define content size of UIScrollView:

1. Embed scrollable content to UIView (I rename it to ContentView)
2. Add constraints:

ContentView.Weight = View.Weight and ContentView.Height = View.Height
