In case you still need it  have you tried to set the property  self tableView tableHeaderView    If you calculate the heigh you need  and set a new view for tableHeaderView   CGRect frame   self tableView tableHeaderView frame  frame size height   newHeight   self tableView tableHeaderView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame frame     It should work

It works with me only if I set the footer header of the tableview to nil first   self footer   self searchTableView tableFooterView  CGRect frame   self footer frame  frame size height   200  self footer frame   frame  self searchTableView tableFooterView   nil  self searchTableView tableFooterView   self footer    Make sure that self footer is a strong reference to prevent the footer view from being deallocated

If you programatically set the tableHeaderView  then just set it inside viewDidLayoutSubviews       override func viewDidLayoutSubviews             super viewDidLayoutSubviews           setupTableViewHeader              private func setupTableViewHeader                Something you do to set it up programatically            tableView tableHeaderView   MyHeaderView instanceFromNib            If you didn t set it programatically  you need to do similar to what  Kris answered based on this link      override func viewDidLayoutSubviews             super viewDidLayoutSubviews           sizeHeaderToFit              private func sizeHeaderToFit             if let headerView   tableView tableHeaderView               headerView setNeedsLayout               headerView layoutIfNeeded                let height   headerView systemLayoutSizeFitting UIView layoutFittingCompressedSize  height             var frame   headerView frame             frame size height   height             headerView frame   frame              tableView tableHeaderView   headerView

Just create Footer Wrapper View using constructor UIView frame    then if you are using xib file for FooterView  create view from xib and add as subView to wrapper view  then assign wrapper to tableView tableFooterView   fixWrapper         let fixWrapper   UIView frame  CGRectMake 0  0  UIScreen mainScreen   bounds width  54      dont remove     let footer   UIView viewFromNib  YourViewXibFileName   as  YourViewClassName     fixWrapper addSubview footer      tableView tableFooterView   fixWrapper     tableFootterCostView   footer   It works perfectly for me  the point is to create footer view with constructor  frame     Even though you create UIView   and assign frame property it may not work

I found a nice hack  Add the below line after modifying the frame propery  self tableView tableHeaderView   self tableView tableHeaderView    The trick is  I think  that the UITableView is caching the height  the frame actually  when you assign the view to the tableHeaderView property  The above line just assigns the height again

You can create a UIView with the desired height  the width should be that of the UITableView   and inside it you can place a UIImageView with the picture of the proper dimensions  they won t stretch automatically   You can also give margin above and below the inner UIImageView  by giving a higher height to the container view   Additionally  you can assign a Translation transform in order to place the image in the middle of its container header view  for example

With autolayout you could do something like   tableView sectionHeaderHeight   UITableViewAutomaticDimension tableView estimatedSectionHeaderHeight    lt your-header-height gt    or if your headers are of different heights  go ahead and implement   func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       return  lt your-header-height gt
