Been encountering this error a lot in my OS X using swift:
"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."
I have a my NSWindow and I'm swapping in views to the contentView of the window. I get the error when I try and do a NSApp.beginSheet on the window, or when I add a subview to the window. Tried disabling autoresize stuff, and I don't have anything using auto layout. Any thoughts?
Sometimes it's fine and nothing happens, other times it totally breaks my UI and nothing loads
This question is related to
swift

autolayout
background-thread
It needs to be placed inside a different thread that allows the UI to update as soon as execution of thread function completes:
Modern Swift:
DispatchQueue.main.async {
// Update UI
}
Older versions of Swift, pre Swift 3.
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(){
// code here
})
Objective-C:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
// code here
});
