With what should I replace the deprecated sizeWithFont: method?

After an hour of trial error I managed to make it work:

CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(tableView.width, MAXFLOAT);

NSStringDrawingOptions options = NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine |
                                 NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin;

NSDictionary *attr = @{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]};
CGRect labelBounds = [string boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize 
                                          options:options
                                       attributes:attr
                                          context:nil];

Update:

As Mr. T mentions in answer below : In iOS 7 and later, this method returns fractional sizes (in the size component of the returned CGRect); to use a returned size to size views, you must use raise its value to the nearest higher integer using the ceil function. ceilf function is recommended to use.

CGFloat height = ceilf(labelBounds.size.height);
