My uipanel is not showing up on the figure no matter what I do. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I tried googling without success.
ComponentHeight = 60;
GUIheight = 13 * ComponentHeight;
SettingsPanelWidth = 1000;
SettingsPanelHeight = 500;
SettingsPanelPosition = [AlarmGatePosition(1), AlarmGatePosition(2)-50-SettingsPanelHeight, SettingsPanelWidth, SettingsPanelHeight];
f = figure('Name', 'AlarmGate Settings', ...
'NumberTitle', 'off', ...
'Color', 'w',...
'Units', 'pixels',...
'ToolBar', 'none',...
'HandleVisibility', 'on',...
'Position', SettingsPanelPosition,...
'Resize', 'off',...
'Tag', 'AlarmGateSettings',...
'MenuBar', 'none');
infoPanelPosition = [50, SettingsPanelHeight*0.5, SettingsPanelWidth*0.6, SettingsPanelHeight*.45];
infoPanel = uipanel('Parent', f,...
'Title', 'Recipients',...
'TitlePosition', 'lefttop',...
'Tag', 'infoPanel',...
'Position', infoPanelPosition,...
'Units','pixels',...
'BackgroundColor','blue',...
'FontSize', 12,...
'Visible', 'on',...
'HandleVisibility', 'on'...
);
uistack(infoPanel, 'top')

You need to define Units ahead of Position else the Position will be interpreted in default units (which are 'normalized') before the Units then get set to Pixels:
infoPanel = uipanel('Parent', f,...
'Title', 'Recipients',...
'TitlePosition', 'lefttop',...
'Tag', 'infoPanel',...
'Units','pixels',...
'Position', infoPanelPosition,...
'BackgroundColor','blue',...
'FontSize', 12,...
'Visible', 'on',...
'HandleVisibility', 'on'...
);

Yeah, I think that is true in many cases - e.g. it is a well known way of setting min, max, value properties on a slider rather than sequentially to avoid warning messages about it not being able to render because 'Value' is outside of the range of 'Min' to 'Max' etc.
I just had a vague recollection of having run into similar problems in the past when it came to units and positions. It feels like a bug, but it is probably considered a feature! I tested it in R2019a so its behaviour is the same as you are seeing in R2014b
