UILabel in UITableViewCell with auto layout has wrong height

Question

I have a UITableView with cells that have a fixed height of 100 points. The cells are created in a xib file that uses 3 constraints to pin a UILabel to

I know this is an old issue, but maybe this UILabel subclass can also help for some:

class AutoSizeLabel: UILabel {
    override var bounds: CGRect {
        didSet {
            if bounds.size.width != oldValue.size.width {
                self.setNeedsUpdateConstraints()
            }
        }
    }

    override func updateConstraints() {
        if self.preferredMaxLayoutWidth != self.bounds.size.width {
            self.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = self.bounds.size.width
        }
        super.updateConstraints()
    }
}

Note: works also for cases when your UILabel won't size itself correctly when inside of a StackView
