IOS Auto Layout Demystified
Auto Layout re-imagines the way developers create user interfaces. It provides a flexible and powerful system that describes how views and their content relate to each other and to the windows and superviews they occupy. In contrast to older design approaches, this technology offers incredible control over layout with a wider range of customization than frames, springs, and struts can express.
In this guide, Erica Sadun, bestselling author of "The Core iOS 6 Developer's Cookbook "and "The Advanced iOS 6 Developer's Cookbook," helps readers learn how to use Auto Layout effectively, even masterfully, by providing an abundance of examples alongside plenty of explanations and tips. Instead of struggling with class documentation, you learn in simple steps how the system works and why it's far more powerful than you first imagined. You read about common design scenarios and discover best practices that make Auto Layout a pleasure rather than a chore to use. Sadun includes examples of non-obvious ways to use Auto Layout to build interactive elements, animations, and other features beyond what you might normally lay out in Interface Builder to help expand the reader's design possibilities.

This book is the missing manual for AutoLayout. Explains most of everything you need to know about AutoLayout and you should totally read this book instead of the weak Apple documentation.
There is a really good chapter on common scenarios and work around for the limitations for AutoLayout.

This book is an excellent guide to getting started with auto layout. I'm currently reading it for the 3rd time. Each time, I pick up something new.
