make UITextView height dynamically follow it's content even with Auto Layout enabled
Raw
uitextview-dynamic-height-with-autolayout-enabled.md

The key to make text view height follow it's content is by NOT SET HEIGHT CONSTRAINT and DISABLE THE SCROLL.

theTextView.isScrollEnabled = false
theTextView.text = "some text"
theTextView.sizeToFit()

But, if you already set the height constraint, then make it inactive

theTextViewHeightConstraint.isActive = false

theTextView.isScrollEnabled = false
theTextView.text = "some text"
theTextView.sizeToFit()
