Resulting error:

Thread 1: "The layout constraints still need update after sending -updateViewConstraints to <TestChildVC.ViewControllerB: 0x139d09c00>.\nTestChildVC.ViewControllerB or one of its superclasses may have overridden -updateViewConstraints without calling super or sending -updateConstraints to the view. Or, something may have dirtied layout constraints in the middle of updating them. Both are programming errors."
