Autolayout cannot figure out the height or vertical position of a UIStackView despite having added subviews.
This is a pretty common error and "gotcha" so please see the answer below.

For me I received the following error:
warning: Ambiguous Layout: Position and size are ambiguous for 'Button'.
Where the button was placed inside a stack view in Interface Builder. The problem was that I had checked "Hidden" in Interface Builder which meant Xcode was freaking out saying position and size are ambiguous. Just uncheck "Hidden" on the stack view and the warning will disappear... Magic! ✨
As of XCode 12.3, you can control drag from your StackView to your View which will allow you to create constraints to resolve the warning:
This will bring up this window which is helpful if you want to deal with leading/trailing space issues or centering:
