IOS - How to remove NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint from a view

Question

I am having issues getting rid of a pesky NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint that is breaking the auto-layout width constraints of some UITextView.

I have a UITableviewCell that contains a text view, and the text view's height is dynamically set based on the content of the text view's text using

    self.table.sectionHeaderHeight = UITableView.automaticDimension;
    self.table.estimatedSectionHeaderHeight = 200;

This works pretty well when auto-layout is used (I am setting my constraints via the interface and not code). However, I noticed that the widths of the text views are conflicting with NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint - and the end result is the width constraint on my text view is being removed.

[LayoutConstraints] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. 
    (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) 
(
    "<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x6000012ff070 h=--& v=--& UITextView:0x7fde2f09e600'At teenfvfed'.width == 89.5   (active)>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x600001292210 UITextView:0x7fde2f09e600'At teenfvfed'.width == 293   (active)>"
)
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x600001292210 UITextView:0x7fde2f09e600'At teenfvfed'.width == 293   (active)>

The common answer I see online is to add translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false on the text view, but this doesn't have any effect and NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint remains. Any help would be greatly appreciated to remove this!

Try this:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    cell.text.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    cell.setNeedsLayout()
    cell.layoutIfNeeded()
}
