layout of viewcontrol:

the short, wrong answer question add autolayout constraint tableview constraining height constant size. can set best guess, @ runtime set equal tableview's content size's height.

the problem approach eliminates benefit of tableview's , reusable cells. table views expressly designed minimize memory footprint of view. takes lot more memory store view (cell) represents data keep track data you're filling these cells in with.

so instead, better solution use multiple sections within table view. using example screenshot, parent scroll view tableview instead of scroll view. have 4 sections. in first section, return single row yellow view configured table view cell, , same in third & fourth sections. in second section, return many rows using in table view.

alternatively, yellow view thought table header, , blue & red views become table footer, rows in middle.
