UITableView: changing footer view's size programmatically doesn't work

myTable.tableFooterView = myFooterView; 

Re-assign your footer view to the table. The table will recognize it has a new footer and re-do whatever layout needs to occur for the proper size of the footer.

Why do headers and footers follow movement of row when deleting it?

Simply return headerCell.contentView instead of headerCell and your problem will be resolved.

Dynamically Sized Table View Header or Footer Using Auto Layout

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    // Dynamic sizing for the header view
    if let headerView = tableView.tableHeaderView {
        let height = headerView.systemLayoutSizeFittingSize(UILayoutFittingCompressedSize).height
        var headerFrame = headerView.frame

        // If we don't have this check, viewDidLayoutSubviews() will get
        // repeatedly, causing the app to hang.

        if height != headerFrame.size.height {
            headerFrame.size.height = height
            headerView.frame = headerFrame
            tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView
        }
    }
}

content hugging vs content compression resistance priority

Quick summary of the concepts: Hugging => content does not want to grow Compression Resistance => content does not want to shrink and an example: Say you've got button like this: [ Click Me ] and you've pinned the edges to a larger superview with priority 500. Then, if Hugging priority > 500 it'll look like this: [Click Me] If Hugging priority < 500 it'll look like this: [ Click Me ] If superview now shrinks then, if the Compression Resistance priority > 500, it'll look like this [Click Me] Else if Compression Resistance priority < 500, it could look like this: [Cli..] If it doesn't work like this then you've probably got some other constraints going on that are messing up your good work! E.g. you could have it pinned to the superview with priority 1000. Or you could have a width priority. If so, this can be helpful: Editor > Size to Fit Content

Setting Custom View Properties

1. add keyword @IBDesignable before class
2. add Keyword @IBInspectable properties

ex ) MyView.swift

@IBDesignable MyView : UIView {

    var titleLabel:UILabel?

   

    @IBInspectable var textColor : UIColor! {

        didSet {

            if self.titleLabel != nil {

                self.titleLabel.textColor = textColor

            }

        }

    }

}
