UIView Height Change Not Reflected in UI - ios

Question

I have a UIView with embedded stack views containing labels and imageViews. This UIView is designed to expand in height when the text of one of the labels reaches a certain size. The label is set to lines = 0 and word wrap. I have confirmed that the height changes, but this isn't reflected in the UI.
This is the UIView with a standard size name label:
This is the UIView with an extended size name label. As you can see the "open" label is cut off:
This function determines the height of UIView:
func viewHeight(_ locationName: String) -> CGFloat {
let locationName = tappedLocation[0].name
var size = CGSize()
if let font = UIFont(name: ".SFUIText", size: 17.0) {
let fontAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: font]
size = (locationName as NSString).size(withAttributes: fontAttributes)
}
let normalCellHeight = CGFloat(96)
let extraLargeCellHeight = CGFloat(normalCellHeight + 20.33)
let textWidth = ceil(size.width)
let cellWidth = ceil(nameLabel.frame.width)
if textWidth > cellWidth {
return extraLargeCellHeight
} else {
return normalCellHeight
}
}
And this function applies it:
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, didSelect view: MKAnnotationView) {
annotation = view.annotation as! MKPointAnnotation
horizontalStackView.addBackground(color: UIColor.black)
// Add the tapped location to the tappedLocation array
for location in locations {
if location.latitude == annotation.coordinate.latitude && location.longitude == annotation.coordinate.longitude {
tappedLocation.append(location)
}
}
locationView.frame.size.height = viewHeight(tappedLocation[0].name)
print("locationView height = \(locationView.frame.height)")
print("locationView x = \(locationView.frame.origin.x)")
print("locationView y = \(locationView.frame.origin.y)")
print("Frame height: \(locationView.frame.size.height)")
print("Frame widthL \(locationView.frame.size.width)")
YelpClient.sharedInstance().loadImage(tappedLocation[0].imageUrl, completionHandler: { (image) in
performUIUpdatesOnMain {
self.thumbnailImageView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
self.thumbnailImageView.clipsToBounds = true
self.thumbnailImageView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
self.thumbnailImageView.layer.borderWidth = 1
self.thumbnailImageView.image = image
self.nameLabel.text = self.tappedLocation[0].name
self.nameLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
self.priceLabel.text = self.tappedLocation[0].price
self.priceLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
self.displayRating(location: self.tappedLocation[0])
}
YelpClient.sharedInstance().getOpeningHoursFromID(id: self.tappedLocation[0].id, completionHandlerForOpeningHours: { (isOpenNow, error) in
if let error = error {
print("There was an error: \(String(describing: error))")
}
if let isOpenNow = isOpenNow {
performUIUpdatesOnMain {
if isOpenNow {
self.openLabel.text = "Open"
self.openLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
} else {
self.openLabel.text = "Closed"
self.openLabel.textColor = UIColor(red: 195/255, green: 89/255, blue: 75/255, alpha: 1.0)
self.openLabel.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0, weight: .semibold)
}
}
}
})
})
locationView.isHidden = false
}
This print statement indicates the height of the UIView is changing height, but the x and y origins are not changing (the view should extend upwards to accommodate the word wrap in the name label):

Manual height manipulation doesn't work in autolayout. If you want to increase the height, create an IBOutlet to a height constraint and set its constant value. You can even animate it.
