Stack view doesn't work inside UITableViewCell

In the case above, you're not setting the text for the second label, so it has no height.
AutoLayout isn't magic, you can't let a tableviewcell set it's height via AL, we use this pattern in the Artsy App, generate the height like the old days, then throw a stack view in there.

    ORStackView *stackView = [[ORStackView alloc] init];

    UILabel *labelOne = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    labelOne.text = @"One";
    labelOne.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];

    UILabel *labelTwo = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    labelTwo.text = @"Two";
    labelTwo.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];

    UILabel *labelThree = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    labelThree.text = @"Three";
    labelThree.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];


    [stackView addSubview:labelOne withTopMargin:@"10" sideMargin:@"20"];
    [stackView addSubview:labelTwo withTopMargin:@"20" sideMargin:@"20"];
    [stackView addSubview:labelThree withTopMargin:@"10" sideMargin:@"20"];

    [self.contentView addSubview:stackView];
    [stackView alignToView:self.contentView];

Ha! That is an example of why not to copy and paste!

Thanks for that, I think the bit I was missing was the call to alignToView:.

Well, I tried again with my actual code and hit the problem again. I've updated my example to be closer to my actual code. I've hardcoded the cell height in this example to what it should roughly be once 3 views have been added to the cell

This also is an auto layout issue I think, those UIViews that the labels sit in don't have an intrinsic content size, see how they have 0 height?

You're right. I need to invest in reveal....

Thanks
