Question

I\'ve been using the accepted answer here for years.

On iOS 7, the contentSize.height becomes the frame.height-8, regardless of text content.

If you are using auto-layout, you can use the following UITextView subclass that adds an intrinsic height:

@implementation SelfSizingTextView

- (void)setText:(NSString *)text
{
    [super setText:text];
    [self invalidateIntrinsicContentSize];
}

- (void)setFont:(UIFont *)font
{
    [super setFont:font];
    [self invalidateIntrinsicContentSize];
}

- (CGSize)intrinsicContentSize
{
    CGFloat width = self.frame.size.width;
    CGSize size = [self sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(width, MAXFLOAT)];
    return CGSizeMake(UIViewNoIntrinsicMetric, size.height);
}
