it boils down to this 

 var myRowHeight: CGFloat = 100    //initialize this to some value close to what it will probably be

override func viewDidLoad() {
        //control row height for variable text size
        tableView.estimatedRowHeight = tableView.rowHeight
        tableView.rowHeight = myRowHeight
    }

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        //set row height right before view appears so autolayout has time to estimate it
        tableView.estimatedRowHeight = tableView.rowHeight
        tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
    }

This is the solution that works for me.

For iOS 8+ you can find explanation and example here For iOS prior 8 version it's more complicated to do this. You should manually calculate the height of the cell and then provide this heigh in delegate methods of a table view (heighForRow at index path). Hope this will help you.
