This is a known issue with Simulated Metrics on top level views in XIBs and we are working actively to fix the issue. It should work fine with top level view controllers.

But my experimentation in Xcode suggests that the results of doing that are disastrous: instead of showing you what would happen given the present constraints and the changed metrics (e.g. changing from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 screen), Xcode creates a completely different set of constraints! May I presume this is a bug? The workaround is to test constraints only with the simulator, changing the Hardware specification there, but this is laborious, so it would be nice if things worked as advertised. Thx - m.
