Keep Buttons the Same Height for All Views for iOS

Question

I am having trouble getting the buttons to always stay at 50pts, no matter the screen size. I can get them the have the correct leading and trailing contraints but they shrink in height based on the screen size. for example:

My constraints are set up so that all buttons have equal widths and heights at 599 x 50 and 20pts from each edge, not constraining to margins. Any help/direction would be great. Thanks!

Have you tried increasing the priority of the height constraints to max? — Jeff Wolski
I'm new to xcode; That would be setting them all to 1000? Yeah, they are. — GrantW
you haven't set a HEIGHT constraint, if you added a fixed height constraint to any of your buttons, they would stay constant — MSU_Bulldog
I set the top button height constraint = 50 and then dragged the rest of them to have equal heights and widths as the top. Is there another/better way to do it? — GrantW

Go to each button and set its height constraint to 50pts. That should solve your issue. If not, you could try it in code:

override viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    NSLayoutConstraints.activate([
        <BUTTON>.heightAnchor.constrain(equalToConstant: 50)
    ])
}
