The answers all require a bunch of code, but you can do everything interface builder; no code needed.

Just embed the textField in a UIStackView and constrain the stackView to be less than or equal to its superview minus some constant (if you want you can also give it a minimum width). The stackView will take care of always making the textField its intrinsic size, or the maxwidth of the stackView (which ever is smaller), so as you type the size changes automatically to fit the content.
