How to move UIButton programmatically. Objective-C Xcode

I've seen some solutions, none of which have worked for my issue.

I have a UIButton created by simply drag/dropping into the UIViewController in Storyboard editor.

The UIButton has an outlet linked to the .h file for the UIViewController associated to that view. It is also Synthesized in the .m file.

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *answerButton;

I want to change the location of the button during run time like this;

CGRect btFrame = answerButton.frame;
btFrame.origin.x = xOne;
btFrame.origin.y = yOne;
answerButton.frame = btFrame;

However whenever I try this, the button refuses to move.

All other editing functions (like setTitle etc) are functional, but for some reason the frame won't move how I want it to.

Simply uncheck "Use Autolayout" in the file inspector..

.h file

    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController{
    IBOutlet UIButton *theButton;
}
@property(nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIButton *theButton;
-(IBAction)moveTheButton:(id)sender;

@end

.m file

-(IBAction)moveTheButton:(id)sender{
CGRect btFrame = theButton.frame;
btFrame.origin.x = 90;
btFrame.origin.y = 150;
theButton.frame = btFrame;

}

This code moves the button from one point to another.

Replace your code by the below, which includes code to remove auto resizing mask.

CGRect btFrame = answerButton.frame;
btFrame.origin.x = xOne;
btFrame.origin.y = yOne;
answerButton.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
answerButton.frame = btFrame;
