Change position of a SKSpriteNode that has a physicsBody

Question

I can\'t change the position of a SKSpriteNode by changing

self.position = newPosition;

It doesn\'t work anymore if it has a physicsBody.

Answer 1

Seems similar to SKSPriteNode position changes to 0,0 for no reason

As stated in answer and comments of this question, it seems you must either set the position before setting the physicsBody and/or set the physicsBody after adding the node to your scene.

I've had this problem in several scenarios and I haven't found out what exactly causes it to fail sometimes.
