Answer 2

You can change frame of your UIButton by changing layer's frame of UIButton

 [self.button.layer setFrame:] 

import QuartzCore framework in your class header before using this. This will work with auto layout also.

Answer 3

Remove the view from the superview and after setting frame add this view again as a subview. Hope this will work fine...

Answer 4

//Remove the view from the superview

UIView *view = yourButton.superview;
[yourButton removeFromSuperview];

//change frame of UIButton

CGRect bounds = view.bounds;
yourButton.center = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(bounds), CGRectGetMidY(bounds));

//add this view again as a subview

[view addSubview:yourButton];

Answer 5

You can use this

[_button setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:YES];

after this you can set frame of your button.

It may give some warnings in log about constraints, as this property override constraints you gave in autolayout.
