Align issue

Hi, I got a problem with my Xcode, In my editor area all the items in the right position, I mean centre of the screen, but when I run the simulator, it seems little bit left. Is it Xcode bug or something else?

Here is the screenshots: https://app.box.com/s/4bps2zviv9h2r1qtyqbux69wkxqcovln https://app.box.com/s/2n0y7of21e4gj9t58stfirid8g0jmajr

It looks like your using the 4 inch screen size in Xcode when positioning items. However when your running on the iPhone 6 simulator (4.7 inch) because its a bigger screen the items look left aligned. If you look at the current view in your storyboard and imagine extra screen space being added to the right you should be able to understand why this is happening when running on larger devices...?

Adding auto layout constraints will make sure that the items are positioned centre on all devices regardless of the screen size. If your following the videos, I'm pretty certain Pasan adds these constraints.

Good luck. :)
