一行是克里斯的答案是错的。

newFrame.size.height = maximumLabelSize.height;

应该是

newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;

除此之外，这是正确的解决方案。

根据iOS7更新

// If description are available for protocol
protocolDescriptionLabel.text = [dataDictionary objectForKey:@"description"];
[protocolDescriptionLabel sizeToFit];
[protocolDescriptionLabel setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

CGSize expectedLabelSize = [protocolDescriptionLabel
               textRectForBounds:protocolDescriptionLabel.frame
               limitedToNumberOfLines:protocolDescriptionLabel.numberOfLines].size;
NSLog(@"expectedLabelSize %f", expectedLabelSize.height);

//adjust the label the the new height.
CGRect newFrame = protocolDescriptionLabel.frame;
newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
protocolDescriptionLabel.frame = newFrame;

iOS7之前和iOS7上面的解决方案

要在Swift3中做到这一点，以下是代码:

 let labelSizeWithFixedWith = CGSize(width: 300, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude)
            let exactLabelsize = self.label.sizeThatFits(labelSizeWithFixedWith)
            self.label.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20), size: exactLabelsize)

问题是，没有提到的函数是可靠的，一些字符串和字体将返回不正确的高度值。尤其是带属性的文本。

唯一可行的解决方案是:https://stackoverflow.com/a/4214978/699944，重点是使用CoreText手动计算每一行的高度，以获得正确的大小。没有其他已知的方法可以做到这一点。

你也可以把它作为一种方法。@Pyjamasam是非常正确的，所以我只是在创建它的方法。它可能对其他人有帮助

-(CGRect)setDynamicHeightForLabel:(UILabel*)_lbl andMaxWidth:(float)_width{
    CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(_width, FLT_MAX);

    CGSize expectedLabelSize = [_lbl.text sizeWithFont:_lbl.font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:_lbl.lineBreakMode];

    //adjust the label the the new height.
    CGRect newFrame = _lbl.frame;
    newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
    return newFrame;
}

就像这样

label.frame = [self setDynamicHeightForLabel:label andMaxWidth:300.0];
