I cannot seem to replace the deprecated sizeWithFont with boundingRecWithSize correctly. I scoured through all the answers and stayed up all night trying to fix this.I really need help from someone way smarter than I. Here is the code I am trying to modify. Any help would be appreciated.

CGSize sizeForText = [faqItem.answer sizeWithFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14]
   constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(self.tblView.bounds.size.width - padding, MAXFLOAT)
   lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

[sectionInfo insertObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:roundf(sizeForText.height + 5)]
  inRowHeightsAtIndex:0];

You need to use the sizeWithAttributes property.

CGSize mysize = [string sizeWithAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f]}];

You can also set it to an already created font size in order to reduce recoding if you use the size more than once:

CGSize mysize = [string sizeWithAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: label1.font}];

I do not believe you can use constrainedToSize with this property. It would have to be separately set on a CGRect.
