I am stuck figuring out how to fix an "This application is modifying the autolayout engine from a background thread" error. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I tried the approach outlined from this similar question to use dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_qeueu()) but it is not solving the problem. Am I using it incorrectly?
From debugging I have isolated that a Firebase call to reset the user password is at least part of the issue. When I leave out that code there is no error.
Relevant code and full error message is below:
//MARK: - Forgot Password Button Tapped
@IBAction func forgotPasswordButtonTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
let userEnteredEmail = emailTextField.text
//Have Firebase send email to reset password
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
FIRAuth.auth()?.sendPasswordResetWithEmail(userEnteredEmail!, completion: { error in
if error != nil {
//Tell user that the user name or password is incorrect.
let errorCode = error!.code
switch (errorCode) {
// Error code handling alerting user to issue.
}
}
else {
//Send user to the forgot password screen.
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("toForgotPasswordViewController", sender: self)
}
})
})
}
}
Full error thrown:
This application is modifying the autolayout engine from a background thread, which can lead to engine corruption and weird crashes. This will cause an exception in a future release.

Thank you for any ideas or thoughts!
Try this:
FIRAuth.auth()?.sendPasswordResetWithEmail(userEnteredEmail!, completion: { error in
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
if error != nil {
//Tell user that the user name or password is incorrect.
let errorCode = error!.code
switch (errorCode) {
// Error code handling alerting user to issue.
}
}
else {
//Send user to the forgot password screen.
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("toForgotPasswordViewController", sender: self)
}
})
})
