Core-Plot does not show axes titles

Question

I'm using Core-Plot to visualize temperature values over time. This works fine with one exception: no titles are shown for the axes, nor are ticks labeled.

Below you will find the code I'm using. I'm using the latest version of CorePlot-CocoaTouch. Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Note: Basically, I'm having the same problem stated in this SO question, but removing/adding CorePlot from/to the project doesn't solve my problem.

Edit: I used the latest version from the repository. Changing to 1.0 (the download), it works like a charm.

CPTXYGraph *graph = [[CPTXYGraph alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
graphHostingView.collapsesLayers = NO; 
graphHostingView.hostedGraph     = graph;

graph.paddingLeft   = 10.0;
graph.paddingTop    = 10.0;
graph.paddingRight  = 10.0;
graph.paddingBottom = 10.0;

CPTXYPlotSpace *plotSpace = (CPTXYPlotSpace *)graph.defaultPlotSpace;
plotSpace.allowsUserInteraction = YES;
plotSpace.xRange                = [CPTPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPTDecimalFromFloat(0.0) length:CPTDecimalFromFloat(500.0)];
plotSpace.yRange                = [CPTPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPTDecimalFromFloat(0.0) length:CPTDecimalFromFloat(40.0)];

CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPTXYAxisSet *)graph.axisSet;    
CPTXYAxis *x          = axisSet.xAxis;
x.title = @"Date";
x.majorIntervalLength         = CPTDecimalFromString(@"280");
x.orthogonalCoordinateDecimal = CPTDecimalFromString(@"0");
x.minorTicksPerInterval       = 4;    

CPTXYAxis *y = axisSet.yAxis;
y.title = @"Temperature";
y.majorIntervalLength         = CPTDecimalFromString(@"10");
y.orthogonalCoordinateDecimal = CPTDecimalFromString(@"0");
y.minorTicksPerInterval       = 2;    

CPTScatterPlot *temperaturePlot  = [[CPTScatterPlot alloc] init];
temperaturePlot.interpolation = CPTScatterPlotInterpolationCurved;
temperaturePlot.dataSource    = self;

[graph addPlot:temperaturePlot];

Edit: Adding padding to the plotArea does not help, as seen in the screenshots below. Plot without padding Plot with padding

You need to add some padding to the plot area frame to make room for the labels.

graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingLeft   = 70.0;
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingTop    = 20.0;
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingRight  = 20.0;
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingBottom = 80.0;
