Auto-sizing UITableViewCell in iOS 8

Question

I have a UITableViewCell subclass which contains a multiline label, and I would like the cell to size itself dynamically based on the content of that label. I\'m aware that

I just came across this issue.

From numerous other Stackoverflow post they recommend:

self.contentView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;

That didn't work for me at first. I found that I also need to do:

self.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, 50);

My custom cell's init method looks like his:

-(id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];

    if(self)
    {
        [self initViews];
        [self initConstraints];
    }

    return self;
}

I put the code in my "initViews" method:

-(void)initViews
{
    ...

    // fixes an iOS 8 issue with UIViewEncapsulated height 44 bug
    self.contentView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
    self.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, 50);
}

The problem went away and my cell looks correct too.

Does this work for you?
