iOS: Scaling UITextView with pinching?

Question

I'm interested in creating UITextView that is expanding dynamically while typing the text, and scaling as the user pinches the screen(Similar behaviour can be found in TinyPost).

When you just type (without pinching) the textView expands fine. When you just pinch (without typing) is works fine, but when you pinch and then type, the text inside gets cut.

Here is my code:

UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pinchGestRecognizer = [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(scaleTextView:)];
        pinchGestRecognizer.delegate = self;
        [bgFrameImageView addGestureRecognizer:pinchGestRecognizer];

    - (void)scaleTextView:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)pinchGestRecognizer{
        createTextView.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(createTextView.transform, pinchGestRecognizer.scale, pinchGestRecognizer.scale);

        pinchGestRecognizer.scale = 1;        
    }

    - (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView{

        CGSize textSize = textView.contentSize;

        textView.frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(textView.frame), CGRectGetMinY(textView.frame), textSize.width, textSize.height); //update the size of the textView  
    }

What do you think?

Try:

- (void)scaleTextView:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)pinchGestRecognizer{
     CGFloat scale = pinchGestRecognizer.scale;

    createTextView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:createTextView.font.fontName size:createTextView.font.pointSize*scale];

    [self textViewDidChange:createTextView];       
}

It basically scales the font size and then recalculates the content size using your code in textViewDidChange.
