Using iOS 11, I can successfully get a self-sizing UITableViewCellStyle.subtitle cell to dynamically adjust its height by setting the numberOfLines property on the detailTextLabel to 0.
public class SubtitleCell: UITableViewCell {
public override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: .subtitle, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
self.textLabel?.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .headline)
self.detailTextLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
}
}
I've also ensured auto-resizing is enabled on the tableView.
tableView.estimatedRowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
In iOS 11, with only these two changes, I get a resized cell. Great!
However, in iOS 10, with the same code, my table view cells do not resize.
I know that iOS 11 made autoresizing table views the default. However, I did not believe that Apple made any other functional changes to table views or table view cells.
Why, even when enabling autoresizing table views, I cann't get the subtitle cell style to resize properly? When I use the live view inspector, I don't see any constraints in the table view cell on either the iOS 11 or iOS 10 cells. So, I feel like Apple made an underlying change to the default UITableViewCell styles, but I cannot find any reference to it.
