iOS 8: UITableViewCell detail text not correctly updating

Question

tl;dr: Can I cause the detailTextLabel to have its size updated by the auto layout system in iOS on a value change?

Has anyone else had issues with the detailText l

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with a static UITableView. I change a label's text and it doesn't get updated on the screen unless I clicked on the cell or did anything to force update its views. My workaround was to call after updating the text:

tableView.reloadData()

P.S This doesn't make any sense; because this is a static table view, and I don't know why it worked, but it did!
