FDStackView
A drop-in replacement for UIStackView that works on iOS 6+ with full Interface Builder support.
What is FDStackView?
FDStackView is an open-source library that provides a backward-compatible implementation of Apple's UIStackView for iOS. It allows developers to use the exact same UIStackView API on iOS versions as old as iOS 6, solving the problem of having to maintain separate layout code for different iOS versions. The library works by automatically replacing UIStackView symbols at runtime on older iOS versions while using the native implementation on iOS 9+.
iOS developers who need to support older iOS versions (iOS 6-8) but want to use modern UIStackView APIs in their applications. This is particularly valuable for apps with large user bases on older iOS versions.
Developers choose FDStackView because it provides perfect API compatibility with native UIStackView, requires no code changes, offers full Interface Builder support, and has been proven safe for App Store submission. Unlike other alternatives, it doesn't require learning a new API or modifying existing UIStackView code.
