Any constraint-based UIView can be a good tableHeaderView.

One needs to set a tableFooterView before and then impose additional trailing constraint on tableFooterView and tableHeaderView.

    ........................
    // let self.headerView is some constraint-based UIView
    self.tableView.tableFooterView = [UIView new];
    [self.headerView layoutIfNeeded];
    self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.headerView;

    [self.tableView.leadingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.headerView.leadingAnchor].active = YES;
    [self.tableView.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.headerView.trailingAnchor].active = YES;
    [self.tableView.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.headerView.topAnchor].active = YES;
    [self.tableFooterView.trailingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.headerView.trailingAnchor].active = YES;

}
