This post has been updated for Swift 5 & WKWebView

So this is a really great function you wrote there, OP!
Here is just a shorter, more elegant version of your code:

// make sure to declare the delegate when creating your webView (add UIWebViewDelegate to class declaration as well)
myWebView.delegate = self

func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView: UIWebView) {
     webView.frame.size.height = 1
     webView.frame.size = webView.sizeThatFits(CGSize.zero)
}

Migrating to WKWebView

1) import WebKit
2) make your ViewController inherit from WKNavigationDelegate
3) hook up the WKWebView’s delegate: webView.navigationDelegate = self
4) implement the following protocol function:

webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!)

After migrating from UIWebView to WKWebView, above approach doesn’t seem to work anymore.
What you can do instead, is change the line with webView.sizeThatFits(CGSize.zero) to:

webView.frame.size = webView.scrollView.contentSize

The full code for WKWebView would then be:

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
    webView.frame.size.height = 1
    webView.frame.size = webView.scrollView.contentSize
}
