There are two ways to display Today extension:

1. Compact Mode (fixed height for Widget)
2. Expand Mode (Variable height for Widget)

Whatever code you do to change the height of extension in Compact mode will not make any difference. So you need to change the mode from compact to Expand Mode.

// 1. Load This in viewDidLoad:

override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()
  self.extensionContext?.widgetLargestAvailableDisplayMode = NCWidgetDisplayMode.expanded
}

// 2. Implement another widget protocol

func widgetActiveDisplayModeDidChange(_ activeDisplayMode: NCWidgetDisplayMode, withMaximumSize maxSize: CGSize){
  if (activeDisplayMode == NCWidgetDisplayMode.compact) {
    self.preferredContentSize = maxSize;
  }
  else {
    self.preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 0, height: 200);
  }
}
