UIScrollView not working with [scrollView setScrollEnabled: YES]

Question

In my .h file, I have an IBOutlet declared like this:

IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;

I wired my UIScrollView to File's Owner.

In my .m file I have the following in viewDidLoad:

[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 600)];
[scrollView setScrollEnabled:YES];

But when I try to scroll, nothing happens.

You don't need to set the UIScrollViewDelegate because I've had apps that scroll without using it.

The content size is 320 by 700. The view size is the default 320x480. — Cocoa Dev, Jan 07 '11 at 14:32
Have a look at the PhotoScroller app you can download from the SDK site. It gives a all the details needed for setting up a UIScrollView — Larry Hipp, Jan 03 '11 at 18:12

If you a are using iOS 6, using Autolayout in your .xib files can be the reason that your UIScrollView doesn't behave the way you expect it to (even though your setting a large contentSize).

You can disable Autolayout by selecting the respective .xib file in the Project Navigator and unchecking "Autolayout" in the File inspector (in the right column).

You can also adjust your Autolayout settings (there's various threads on this).

This was my issue. Spent an hour looking for this. Thanks! – Jon Mattingly Jun 08 '13 at 00:38

If you have taken scroll view in xib file then you do not need to below line:

[scrollView setScrollEnabled:YES];

Also you should check your connection with file's owner.
