iOS8 - constraints ambiguously suggest a height of zero

Has anyone got any idea how to debug this?

Warning once only: Detected a case where constraints ambiguously suggest a height of zero for a tableview cell's content view. We're considering the collapse unintentional and using standard height instead.

The rows have a fixed height as set by

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
           heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
   return 34.0;
}

And all the constraints seem to be happy...

Forcing a return height and estimated height made the warning disappear in my case.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
           estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return 44;
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
           heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return 44;
}

Another solution where you don't need the two overrides is simply to use self.tableView.rowHeight = 44; in your loadView or init method.
