In case anyone is looking for a solution without code, I created an example to do this completely in the storyboard, using Auto Layout.

You can get it from github.

Basically, to recreate the example (for vertical scrolling):

  1. Create a UIScrollView, and set its constraints.
  2. Add a UIStackView to the UIScrollView
  3. Set the constraints: Leading, Trailing, Top & Bottom should be equal to the ones from UIScrollView
  4. Set up an equal Width constraint between the UIStackView and UIScrollView.
  5. Set Axis = Vertical, Alignment = Fill, Distribution = Equal Spacing, and Spacing = 0 on the UIStackView
  6. Add a number of UIViews to the UIStackView
  7. Run

Exchange Width for Height in step 4, and set Axis = Horizontal in step 5, to get a horizontal UIStackView.
