UITableViewCell animate height issue in iOS 10

Question

My UITableViewCell will animate it\'s height when recognizing a tap. In iOS 9 and below this animation is smooth and works without issues. In iOS 10 beta there\

Answer 1

I don't use auto layout, instead I derive a class from UITableViewCell and use its "layoutSubviews" to set the frames of the subviews programmatically. So I tried to modify cnotethegr8's answer to fit my needs, and I came up with the following.

Reimplement "setFrame" of the cell, set the cell's content height to the cell height and trigger a relayout of the subviews in an animation block:

@interface MyTableViewCell : UITableViewCell
...
@end

@implementation MyTableViewCell

...

- (void) setFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    [super setFrame:frame];

    if (self.window)
    {
        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
            self.contentView.frame = CGRectMake(
                                        self.contentView.frame.origin.x,
                                        self.contentView.frame.origin.y,
                                        self.contentView.frame.size.width,
                                        frame.size.height);
            [self setNeedsLayout];
            [self layoutIfNeeded];
        }];
    }
}

...

@end

That did the trick :)
