The TopLayoutGuide is now deprecated in iOS 11.0, therefore what should we use and how would we apply it?

When you type in the following line of code self.topLayoutGuide , apple inform us that the topLayoutGuide was deprecated in iOS 11.0, what would be the correct thing to put instead of this?

I haven't used it myself, so I don't know the exact line of code you would replace it with - but I believe it has been replaced with safeAreaLayoutGuide, if you want to look into that approach. Here's a link to the Apple Documentation. Hope that helps!

As far as I can tell, there's no way to access the safe area layout guide through the visual format language. Check this link for a discussion on it.
