我的代码:

UILabel *label      = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label.numberOfLines = 0;
label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
label.text          = text;
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
label.font          = [UIFont fontWithName:_bodyTextFontFamily size:_bodyFontSize];

CGSize size = [label sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(width, MAXFLOAT)];


float height        = size.height;
label.frame         = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);

更新方法

+ (CGFloat)heightForText:(NSString*)text font:(UIFont*)font withinWidth:(CGFloat)width {

    CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(width, 20000.0f);
    CGSize size;

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

    size = CGSizeMake(ceil(boundingBox.width), ceil(boundingBox.height));

    return size.height;
}

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;

对我来说，最简单和更好的方法是将高度约束应用于标签，并将优先级设置为低，即storyboard中的(250)。

所以你不需要担心通过编程计算高度和宽度，多亏了storyboard。

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;
}
