iOS app only showing half in simulator

Question

I am trying to develop a simple app with one screen for iOS and am running into a strange problem. Only half of the app is showing up. For example I have a screen with just one button in the center of the screen. When I run the app in the simulator I only see half the button and I cannot move it either.I can scroll the view in the simulator vertically but not horizontally. I am stumped. Will appreciate any pointers.

I'm pretty sure you built your view using the main storyboard and put everything in the middle of it. The main storyboard is set to take all iOS format into account, iPhone and iPad. If you want your app to appear centered on your iOS device, you need to constraint the position of your different UI objects, using Auto Layout. That way it would appear centered automatically, whatever is the device you're using
