7,433 PointsI don't understand this Format String constraint error
This is my line of code (I believe I have copied exactly what Pasan has written):
view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("V: [topLayoutGuide]-standardOffset-[blueView]-standardOffset-[orangeView]", options: [], metrics: metrics, views: views))
At run time, the app crashes and this is the beginning of the error I get:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unable to parse constraint format: Expected a view V: [topLayoutGuide]-standardOffset-[blueView]-standardOffset-[orangeView] ^'
