What is the default height of UITableViewCell?

Question

I thought this information would have been easier to find :-)

What is the default height of a UITableViewCell? It looks like 44 pixels, but I\'d prefer to be sure.

Answer 1

On iOS 12 the default height on iPhone X like devices (X, XS, XS Max, XR) is 49pt.

Other devices on iOS 12 still have 44pt as default. It's a subtle difference, but it feels like a good improvement in direct comparison.

If you won't believe me, measure for yourself in this screenshot (don't forget to divide by 3)... ;)

Answer 2

In Swift 4 and Swift 5 simply use:

UITableView.automaticDimension

Using 44px won't suffice because it will vary with different screen pixel densities.
