Tint color changes but background color does not.

Question

I just added an iAd Banner to experiment with to the bottom of my Main.storyboard and now my background color of the application will no longer change from the default color but the tint color does change.

Here is my ViewController.swift

import UIKit
import iAd

class ViewController: UIViewController, ADBannerViewDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var adBannerView: ADBannerView!
    @IBOutlet weak var funFactLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var funFactButton: UIButton!

    let factBook = FactBook()
    let colorWheel = ColorWheel()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.


        self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
        self.adBannerView?.delegate = self
        self.adBannerView?.hidden = true


        funFactLabel.text = factBook.randomFact()

    }

    func bannerViewWillLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {

    }

    func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
        self.adBannerView?.hidden = false
    }

    func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {

    }

    func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner: ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {

        return true
    }

    func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToRecieveAdWithError error: NSError!) {

    }



    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    @IBAction func showFunFact(sender: AnyObject) {

        var randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
        view.backgroundColor = randomColor
        funFactButton.tintColor = randomColor
        funFactLabel.text = factBook.randomFact()



    }

}

and here is my debug console log:

2015-01-09 05:32:59.717 Daily Facts[76244:1075554] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) 
(
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7cbd9390 H:[UILabel:0x7cbd9400'Karoke means 'empty orche...'(216)]>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7cbdbef0 UILabel:0x7cbd9400'Karoke means 'empty orche...'.leading == UIView:0x7cbdac20.leadingMargin + 36>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7cbdbf20 UIView:0x7cbdac20.trailingMargin == UILabel:0x7cbd9400'Karoke means 'empty orche...'.trailing + 36>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7b692b30 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Width' H:[UIView:0x7cbdac20(320)]>"
)

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x7cbd9390 H:[UILabel:0x7cbd9400'Karoke means 'empty orche...'(216)]>

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

Hey Charutha,

It looks likes your constraints are all messed up. That could be the problem or it could be to do with how the referencing of the view is occurring.

I see that your tint works but your background color does not. That could mean that your background view is being obstructed by something?

These are all shots in the dark though and without having your code to debug I can't say. Fix those constraints to see if that works, it could be that because your constraints are breaking, it is forcing the adbanner to be fullscreen and therefore blocking the background. This is possible if your adBanner is behind every other element in your IB.

Thanks, Alex
