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。

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。

对于那些迁移到iOS 8的人，这里有一个Swift的类扩展:

extension UILabel {

    func autoresize() {
        if let textNSString: NSString = self.text {
            let rect = textNSString.boundingRectWithSize(CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width, CGFloat.max),
                options: NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin,
                attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: self.font],
                context: nil)
            self.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x, self.frame.origin.y, self.frame.size.width, rect.height)
        }
    }

}

NSString *str = @"Please enter your text......";
CGSize lblSize = [str sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15] constrainedToSize: CGSizeMake(200.0f, 600.0f) lineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]init];
label.frame = CGRectMake(60, 20, 200, lblSize.height);
label.numberOfLines = 0;
label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
label.text = str;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[label sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:label];

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];

我计算UILabel动态高度的方法。

    let width = ... //< width of this label 
    let text = ... //< display content

    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = width

    // Font of this label.
    //label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)
    // Compute intrinsicContentSize based on font, and preferredMaxLayoutWidth
    label.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() 
    // Destination height
    let height = label.intrinsicContentSize.height

包装功能:

func computeHeight(text: String, width: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
    // A dummy label in order to compute dynamic height.
    let label = UILabel()

    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)

    label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = width
    label.text = text
    label.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()

    let height = label.intrinsicContentSize.height
    return height
}
