Here is a solution for Swift 4 (based on Arie Litovsky answer), you can put this code into textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) delegate method :

Scaling down the font :

    while (textView.contentSize.height > textView.frame.size.height) {
        guard let fontName = textView.font?.fontName, let fontSize = textView.font?.pointSize else {return}
        if fontSize < 12 {
            return
        }
        textView.font = UIFont(name: fontName, size: fontSize - 1)
        textView.layoutIfNeeded()
    }

And scaling up the font:

        while (textView.contentSize.height < textView.frame.size.height) {
        guard let fontName = textView.font?.fontName, let fontSize = textView.font?.pointSize else {return}
        if fontSize > 15 {
            return
        }
        textView.font = UIFont(name: fontName, size: fontSize + 1)
        textView.layoutIfNeeded()
    }

You can change the fontSize < 12 and fontSize > 15 to fit your needs in minimum and maximum font size.
