You should set the transform of you view back to CGAffineTransformIdentity
before you set his center coordinates or frame and after that apply the new transformation.
The frame
property returns the transformed coordinates of a view if it is transformed and not the true (well actually the transformed are true) coordinates.
Quote from the docs:
Warning: If the transform property is not the identity transform, the value of this property is undefined and therefore should be ignored.
Update/Actual Answer:
Well the actual problem is
shipPosition.y = acceleration.x*60;
Since you set the y pos in accelerometerDidAccelerate
.
The acceleration
won't remember it's old value. So if you move your device it will get a peak and as you slow down it will decelerate again.
Your ship will be +/-60 at the highest acceleration speed but will be 0 when you stop moving your device and shipPosition.y
will be 0.
