Question: Newbie here trying to learn xcode and swift after 15 years of c# and visual studio. I created an app in xcode, added a label, put some text in the label and pressed the Play button for the emulator to fire up. The emulator fires up but the label is nowhere to be seen. I tried iphone 7plus and SE but still no go. I'm sure it has to do with layout. I played around with the autolayout box but still no go. From what I see the label should be in the middle of the screen (red box in preview). How come it's not there? What should I do to make it appear?

Answer: 
I had the label on the launch screen instead of the mainboard.
This might be a silly question, but there's no chance that the "hidden" attribute is checked?

You find it further down on the attributes inspector when you have the label selected when viewing the Main.storyboard. Uncheck it to view the label when running app.
