text Field on my View Controller show the same as the video but when I Run Application it shows only haf size, why?

I am using Xcode Version 6.1 and I am having a surprise when I add a text Field on my View Controller re-sizing the same way as the video class, and when I run the application my text fields and button show only half of the screen like their sizes are double of the original size. What I need to do to fix that?

It sounds like you're having trouble with class sizes in storyboard. Class sizes are new to xcode 6. You can learn more about them here https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-IB_adaptive_sizes/

Are you able to show a screen shot of what you're experiencing?

I'm not sure if Treehouse has anything specifically focused on Xcode's universal layout and classes... but you can try this and see if it helps http://www.raywenderlich.com/83276/beginning-adaptive-layout-tutorial

For the sake of the getting through the iOS track, you could just turn off auto layout and use one specified size. That's what I did... I went through the course designing only for iPhone 6. Of course, I won't continue that way, but just to get through the track.

I believe my problem is with constrains. Do you know a good tutorial explaining how to use textFields, labels, button... to fix the position exactly as I left ?
