After resizing textView, I want textContainer to be the same size (I want text to be the same width as resized textView) as textView. So what I am doing right now is I create a UITextView programatically, then (with or without text inside textView) I resize textView by changing it's bounds but textContainer stays with the same size (text is in smaller rectangle than textView which looks bad).
Here is some code:
let textStorage = NSTextStorage()
let layoutManager = NSLayoutManager()
textStorage.addLayoutManager(layoutManager)
let textContainer = NSTextContainer()
layoutManager.addTextContainer(textContainer)
textContainer.widthTracksTextView = true
textContainer.heightTracksTextView = true
self.textView = UITextView(frame: textViewFrame, textContainer: textContainer)
And later:
self.textView.bounds = CGRect(x, y, newWidth, newHeight)
Currently I am out of ideas why it's not working and can't find solution.
Throw this in a playground. Comment out/in the different ways to set the size of the textView. Setting the bounds indeed doesn't update the container. setting the frame or size does.

var str = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean feugiat purus a pharetra rhoncus. Phasellus eget velit risus. Duis varius et massa non pretium.

let textViewFrame = CGRectZero
let textStorage = NSTextStorage()
let layoutManager = NSLayoutManager()
textStorage.addLayoutManager(layoutManager)
let textContainer = NSTextContainer(size: textViewFrame.size)
layoutManager.addTextContainer(textContainer)
textContainer.widthTracksTextView = true
textContainer.heightTracksTextView = true
var textView = UITextView(frame: textViewFrame, textContainer: textContainer)
XCPShowView("MyView", view: textView)
textView.text = str
//textView.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200)
//textView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200)
textView.frame.size = CGSize(width: 200, height: 200)
//textView.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 200)
//textView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 200)
textView.frame.size = CGSize(width: 400, height: 200)
