My Label after vertically centering it gets pushed down to the middle of the screen. I did everything you did.

I repeated the exact steps you did but my label stay near the center of the screen horizontally.

Did you ever find out why it did that?

I'm having the same issue where the label is actually below my button when testing on the iPhone 6. (Using Xcode 7.)

I ran into the same issue where the label and button were right on top of each other using Xcode 7.1 on all iPhone sizes.I fixed it, but I didn't capture the exact difference. What I do know is that for all top to bottom constraints, there should only be a constraint from the funFactLabel to the topLayout guide, and the Align Center x to the button. The button should only be constrained from the bottom layout guide. I believe there was an extra constraint added or the wrong type with the newer version of Xcode, so the video isn't 100% accurate.

Let me know if this helps!

I'm having the same exact issue in Xcode 7.2. I've watched the video several times doing the exact same steps and my label ends up in the middle of the screen. Frustrating...

The vertical and horizontal constraints seem to be causing the label to appear in the exact center of the screen (which makes sense), but I have no idea why the behavior is different for Pasan's screen. I also noticed at 7:34 that my contain to margins are 27 and 28 versus 31 and 32 as Pasan's. For the life of me I cannot figure out why.
