你的方向是对的。你所需要做的就是:

myUILabel.numberOfLines = 0;
myUILabel.text = @"Enter large amount of text here";
[myUILabel sizeToFit];

UILabel *itemTitle = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0f, 10,100, 200.0f)];
itemTitle.text = @"aseruy56uiytitfesh";
itemTitle.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
itemTitle.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
itemTitle.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18.0];
itemTitle.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
itemTitle.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
itemTitle.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
itemTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
itemTitle.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
itemTitle.numberOfLines = 0;
[itemTitle sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:itemTitle];

使用这里所有的属性都使用在标签上，并通过增加itemTitle中的文本来测试它。文本

itemTitle.text = @"diofgorigjveghnhkvjteinughntivugenvitugnvkejrfgnvkhv";

它会根据你的需要给出完美的答案

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。

基于Swift 4及以上答案的UILabel扩展

extension UILabel {

    func retrieveTextHeight () -> CGFloat {
        let attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: self.text!, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:self.font])

        let rect = attributedText.boundingRect(with: CGSize(width: self.frame.size.width, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude), options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, context: nil)

        return ceil(rect.size.height)
    }

}

可以这样使用:

self.labelHeightConstraint.constant = self.label.retrieveTextHeight()

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。
