UITableViewHeaderFooterView subclass with auto layout and section reloading won't work well together

Question

I ran in to this last week.

The way that I've eliminated the warnings is to change my required constraints to have a priority of 999. This is a work around rather than a fix, but it does get around exceptions being thrown, caught and logged during layout.

Things that didn't work for me.

A suggestion is to set estimatedRowHeight . I tried to set the estimatedSectionHeaderHeight, but this didn't help. Setting an estimatedSectionFooterHeight created empty footers where I didn't want them, which was a bit odd.

I also tried setting translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO; on the header footer view, and on its content view. Neither got rid of the warning and one lead to the layout breaking completely.
