Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints, will attempt to recover by breaking constraint

Below is the error message I receive in the debug area. It runs fine and nothing is wrong except that I receive this error. Would this prevent apple accepting the app? How do I fix it?

    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)

Break on objc_exception_throw to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

None of the foregoing answers is helpful in my situation. I am running XCode 10.1 and testing my app on the simulator for an "iPad (5th generation)". The simulator is running iOS 12.1.

I've got a simple root view in my storyboard, with two UITextField subviews. There are no constraints being used in the storyboard at all. And I have no UIButtonBarView objects in the app or the storyboard.

No messages get printed when the app launches and lays the root view out. None when the simulated device is rotated.

But in the simulator, the moment I click on one of the text fields, the keyboard extension arises from the bottom of the screen, although not the full keyboard, which never seems to show up in the simulator. But the following is printed out on the terminal:

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.

It certainly appears to me that all this has to do with nothing in my app, and everything to do with how Apple is creating its own keyboard view, even with my small extension declared to be combined with it.

So the question remains, is there something I as an app developer am responsible for doing (on the presumption this is a bunch of stuff worth attending to) or is it just Apple's own problem/bug?

FWIW, this constraint problem message doesn't occur when simulating a newer iPad model, such as the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation). But the message does show up when simulating an iPad Pro 9.7-inch". All claiming they're running iOS 12.1.

I am getting this same error, but only on a specific view, when I touch the first textfield, and then the next textfield down.

I was also getting the same issue of breaking constraints in the log, for a viewCircle in the xib. I almost tried everything listed above and nothing was working for me. Then I tried to change the priority of the Height constraint which was breaking in the log(confirmed by adding an identifiers for the constraints on the xib)enter image description here

Basically, you just have to remove that constraint from the associated view. For instance, if is the height constraint giving warning, just remove it from your view; it will not affect the view.

swift 4

I just add this line in viewDidLoad and work fine with me.

view.removeConstraints(view.constraints)
