I have a scrollView with a stackView placed in it. The scrollView is constrained to the rootview. The stack view will show a xib view.

The xib views are all different lengths.
The xib views are labeled simpleVC0 and simpleVC1. The length of the simpleVC0is 2500 and the length of simpleVC1 is 1000.

My problem is that when the xib views are presented in the stack view the length of the scrollView does not change to the length of the presented xib view.
It is like the xib view is presented but the scroll view is locked at a specific length.

Here is simpleVC0 xib view. followed by it when run. When I try to scroll it doesn't allow me to scroll to the bottom of the xib view. it seems to cut the xib view off at a certain length.
Am right in saying that this is possibly an issue that may have to be resolved in code? or can it it solved souled by the constraints.
I have tried auto layout constraints however they have not worked.

I have constrained the scrollView to the rootview on all four sides.
When the root view is loaded the xibs are established using the following code:

 //Different subViews for ingredients and steps
 if counter == 0 
 simpleViewX = SimpleVC0().view
 simpleViewY = SimpleVC1().view
 stack.addArrangedSubview(simpleViewX)
 stack.addArrangedSubview(simpleViewY)
 

The views are the hidden shown by changing the value of the segmented view controller. Shown below:

 @IBAction func tabselected(_ sender: Any) 
 switch (sender as AnyObject).selectedSegmentIndex 
 case 0:
 simpleViewY.isHidden = true
 simpleViewX.isHidden = false

 break
 case 1:
 simpleViewX.isHidden = true
 simpleViewY.isHidden = false

 break
 case 2:
 //calledvideo in array is the value of the counter.
 calledVideo = vids[counter]
 geturl()
 break
 default:
 break
 
 

To use a UIStackView with a UIScrollView you need to allow the stack view to expand its height based on its content.

When laying it out in storyboard, give the stack view a height constraint (to satisfy IB's requirements), but give that height constraint a low Priority.

Then, when adding arranged subviews, the stack view will grow vertically.

Here's a complete example, based on the images you've shown: https://github.com/DonMag/XIBsInScrollView

You have to modify the contentSize property of your scrollView in the code. I don’t know how to deal with it with storyboards, but you can make an outlet of your scrollView and calculate the new height each times it changes (each time you add something or remove something in it)

scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width:yourNewW, height:yourNewH)
