I have an app with many different buttons arranged in a calculator like, square / rectangular format. It is actually extremely similar to the default iOS calculator. There are approximately 6 rows with 4 columns each of buttons.
Problem
The problem I am having involves the buttons in the bottom row (approximately the bottom 10th of the screen on an iPhone 4). They do not behave normally when pressed in the sense that when pressed, they have to be pressed and held (for roughly just under a second) to register a "button press". This is opposed to the standard short tap.
No other buttons besides this bottom row behave in this fashion.
Additionally, if these buttons are tapped on their upper edge, they behave normally, responding as soon as they are touched. This leads me to believe that the buttons themselves are not the problems but there is some problem with the layout of my views.
It should be also noted that this problem is only present on physical devices. On the simulator, the buttons behave normally.
Context
The view containing these buttons is not the root view controller of the app. Instead it is transitioned to as so (nothing fancy here):
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
Where self is the root view controller
The view controller I am having problems with is contained within a navigation controller and is presented modally by the root view controller which you can see above.
What I have tried so far
Turning auto layout on and off: same problem
Rearranging hierarchy of views: I moved the problematic buttons on top of and behind all other
views with the same result: same problem
Multiple devices (iPhone 4, 4s, 5): same problem (although buttons respond normally on both 3.5 inch and 4 inch simulators)
Testing other apps (when buttons in this region are pressed on other apps, they behave normally)
Additional Information
- Everything is laid out in Interface Builder for the problematic view controller
- All of the buttons are system buttons with standard settings and are all exactly the same besides their text.
- All of the elements of the screen (buttons, labels, etc. ) are subviews of the "view"
- The buttons are flush against each other and should not overlap more than one or two pixels.
- The problematic buttons have dimensions: 80 width X 44 height.
- The problematic buttons are flush against the bottom of the screen
- In addition to the buttons, there is one UIImage and several labels however these are at the top of the screen and do not overlap with any of the buttons in any way.
