此方法适用于iOS 6和7

- (float)heightForLabelSize:(CGSize)maximumLabelSize  Font:(UIFont *)font String:(NSString*)string {

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
    NSDictionary *stringAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font forKey: NSFontAttributeName];

    CGSize adjustedLabelSize = [string maximumLabelSize
                                                                  options:NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine|NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                                                               attributes:stringAttributes context:nil].size;
    return adjustedLabelSize.height;
}
else {
    CGSize adjustedLabelSize = [string sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

    return adjustedLabelSize.height;
}

}

myLabel.text = "your very long text"
myLabel.numberOfLines = 0
myLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping

请在故事板中为可用性设置约束，包括左上右下

谢谢大家的帮助，这是我尝试的代码，这是为我工作

   UILabel *instructions = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 225, 300, 180)];
   NSString *text = @"First take clear picture and then try to zoom in to fit the ";
   instructions.text = text;
   instructions.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
   instructions.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
   [instructions setTextColor:[UIColor grayColor]];

   CGSize expectedLabelSize = [text sizeWithFont:instructions.font 
                                constrainedToSize:instructions.frame.size
                                    lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

    CGRect newFrame = instructions.frame;
    newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
    instructions.frame = newFrame;
    instructions.numberOfLines = 0;
    [instructions sizeToFit];
    [self addSubview:instructions];

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()

这种方法可以得到完美的高度

-(float) getHeightForText:(NSString*) text withFont:(UIFont*) font andWidth:(float) width{
CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(width , 20000.0f);
CGSize title_size;
float totalHeight;


title_size = [text boundingRectWithSize:constraint
                                options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                             attributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName : font }
                                context:nil].size;

totalHeight = ceil(title_size.height);

CGFloat height = MAX(totalHeight, 40.0f);
return height;
}

谢谢你写这篇文章。这对我帮助很大。在我的例子中，我也在一个单独的视图控制器中编辑文本。我注意到当我使用:

[cell.contentView addSubview:cellLabel];

在tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:方法中，每当我编辑单元格时，标签视图不断地在前一个视图之上呈现。文本变得像素化，当某些内容被删除或更改时，旧版本在新版本下可见。下面是我解决这个问题的方法:

if ([[cell.contentView subviews] count] > 0) {
    UIView *test = [[cell.contentView subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
    [test removeFromSuperview];
}
[cell.contentView insertSubview:cellLabel atIndex:0];

不再有奇怪的分层。如果有更好的处理方法，请告诉我。
