Before I start experimenting while maybe someone has an answer already:  
Is there any way to create an IOSCustomTableCell from a dataSource that can grow in height according to its (text) content?

A CustomTableCell inherits from ContainerControl that has a fixed (read-only) width and height. While constraints can be added, the LR says they connect to the content of the cell. Or could I set the height of a textfield manually and have constraints change the height of the TableCell?

I don’t think it’s possible but it would be good if it were. I’ve got lots of conditional custom cells … if isIpad() then …

I think @Antonio Rinaldi has a solution for this.
