iOS 7 - UITextField Clip Subviews Isn't Working

Question

I am porting an iOS 6 application to iOS 7 and have noticed some UI bugs that I have bad some issues solving. The largest would be one I found in the UITextView. In iOS 6 I have a UITextField that has a varying amount of dynamic text in it. I have a function that resizes the table view cell around the text view but I found it hard to accurately predict the size of the UITextView so I just disabled clipping and let the text overflow outside the UITextView. I put a buffer between the cell view and the text and thought the problem was solved. When I ported the application to iOS 7 this no longer worked. I can't seem to find a way to have the UITextView not clip it's subviews and overflow the text as it did in iOS 6. I have tried setting setClipsToBounds:NO both in the UIStoryboard and programatically, and have also tried disabling the layer mask with setMasksToBounds:NO . Nothing seems to work, how can I solve this problem?

Hey so I ended up fixing this issue using the iOS 7 constraints. I clipped the bottom of the UITextView to the outer view and removed the pinned height. This allowed the UITextView to resize appropriately.
