OAStackView
A backport of iOS 9's UIStackView to iOS 7+, enabling easy linear layouts for older iOS versions.
What is OAStackView?
OAStackView is an open-source backport of Apple's UIStackView that brings linear layout capabilities to iOS 7 and later. It solves the problem of maintaining consistent, stack-based UI layouts across older iOS versions where the native UIStackView (iOS 9+) is unavailable. Developers can use the same API and Interface Builder integration as UIStackView without rewriting code.
iOS developers who need to support apps on iOS 7 or 8 and want to use stack-based layouts without maintaining separate code paths. It's particularly useful for teams migrating legacy apps to modern layout techniques.
OAStackView offers a nearly identical drop-in replacement for UIStackView, reducing the friction of supporting older iOS versions. It's open-source, tested, and integrates with CocoaPods and Interface Builder, making it a practical choice for backward compatibility.
