Dynamic Type Static UITableViewCell

Question

I have a static UITableView with a UITableViewCell that contains a label. I have it set up to look nice right now, but when a user has their Dynamic Type turned to a larger setting, the label is cut off.

The UILabel has static ~15px constraints set up on all four edges of the UITableViewCell's content view.

How can I make the UITableViewCell's height change dynamically as the Dynamic Type adjusts the size of the UILabel's body formatted text.

Answer 1

Subscribe to UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification and when you get notified change your heightforRowAtIndexPath accordingly.

Answer 2

I know you asked this question many years ago but, as you didn't share any solution here, I guess you didn't find one.

Standard table view cells content is automatically adjusted thanks to the cell-sizing feature.

Constraints must be adapted in case of custom cells in order to obtain the desired rendering and let the cell-sizing work.

If your table view cells don't size to fit content, try and use the properties UITableViewAutomaticDimension associated to estimatedRowHeight.
