Hello Steve, FWIW, I’ve tried both ways and it doesn’t seem to affect the problem I’m having. However, Apple says to update constraints than do the animation block with layoutIfNeeded, according to this WWDC session:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2012/228/?id=228 <https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/videos/wwdc_2012__sd/session_228__best_practices_for_mastering_auto_layout.mov> But in general, the SDK documentation on animating autolayout constraint changes is borderline non-existent.
