Can't get UITableViewAutomaticDimension to work properly - swift2

Question

I have a fairly standard UITableView that populates via custom cell. That cell is simply an image and a label at the moment. I cannot, for the life of me, get it to resize on it's own.
When I include UITableViewAutomaticDimension, I lose the ability to populate my data in addition to incorrect layouts.
Without UITableViewAutomaticDimension, the data is displayed properly.
I am using SnapKit to handle constraints and Meteor/SwiftDDP to handle the data, but there is another UITableView in the project that seems to be working properly
ViewController
class CommentViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
var commentTable:UITableView!
var comments:MeteorCollection<Comment>!
init() {
super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
comments = MeteorCollection<Comment>(name: "comments")
createView()
Meteor.subscribe("postsComments", params: [["postId": self.source!.id!]]) {}
}
func createView() {
let contentTableView = UITableView(frame: content.frame)
content.addSubview(contentTableView)
contentTableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
self.commentTable = contentTableView
contentTableView.delegate = self
contentTableView.dataSource = self
contentTableView.snp_makeConstraints { (make) -> Void in
make.top.equalTo(content)
make.left.equalTo(content)
make.right.equalTo(content)
make.height.equalTo(content).inset(65)
}
contentTableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
contentTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 350
}
}
CommentTableViewDelegate.swift
import UIKit
extension CommentViewController {
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.comments.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(CommentTableViewCell.reuseIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
cell.setNeedsUpdateConstraints()
cell.updateConstraintsIfNeeded()
if let card = cell as? CommentTableViewCell {
let item = self.comments.sorted[indexPath.row]
card.populate(item)
}
return CommentTableViewCell()
}
func reloadTableView() {
self.commentTable.reloadData()
}
}

Answer 1

It might be due to improper constraint within cell. Please add constraint properly in table view cell and set these two properties of UILable from Attributes inspector section of storyboard:
lines to 0
Line break to word wrap
or you can also set these properties from code:
self.lblxyz.numberOfLines = 0
self.lblxyz.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
Note - Do not fix the height of UILable.
Hope it will help you... :)

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it works but, I've been through the same problem recently, and i fixed it by changing the estimatedRowHeight .
Can you please try once with:-
contentTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 350
to, contentTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 160
