FDStackView is an Objective-C library that lets iOS developers use UIStackView directly on iOS 6+ by transparently swapping in a compatible implementation at runtime on pre-iOS 9 devices. It requires no code changes or imports and supports Interface Builder with live preview.

Use cases

  • use UIStackView in apps supporting iOS 6-8
  • backport stack views to older iOS versions
  • build flow layouts without writing manual constraints
  • use UIStackView in Interface Builder with live preview on older deployment targets
  • migrate legacy iOS apps to stack view layouts

When to choose

  • you must support iOS versions below 9 and want stack view layout
  • you want zero-code-change drop-in UIStackView compatibility
  • you rely on Interface Builder stack view previews with an older deployment target

When to avoid

  • your deployment target is iOS 9 or later (use native UIStackView)
  • you need an actively maintained library or Swift support
  • you are starting a new project targeting modern iOS
