This is fully tested as u said dynamic height

myButton=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
myButton.titleLabel.numberOfLines=0;
myButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
NSString *titleOfButton=@"this is the very launch soon title here u can pass as long as big string";
[myButton setTitle:titleOfButton forState:UIControlStateNormal];
CGSize constraint1=CGSizeMake(150.0f, 5000.0f);
CGSize size1=[titleOfButton sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f] constrainedToSize:constraint1 lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
[myButton setFrame:CGRectMake(10,50,150, size1.height+20)];
[self.view addSubview:myButton];

@downvoter-will u explain the reason of downvoting this answer – Vivek Sehrawat Jun 14 '13 at 11:13
sizeWithFont is now deprecated. Replace with `NSDictionary *attributes =@{NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:15]}; CGSize size1 = [firstTitle sizeWithAttributes:attributes];` – Helen Vasconcelos Sep 09 '14 at 16:44
What should I do if there is Autolayout and no button frame? – Kampai Jan 22 '16 at 10:52
@Kampai- In that case dont give the height constraint to the button. – Vivek Sehrawat Jan 25 '16 at 07:11

Use this code for help

UIFont font = myButton.titleLabel.font;
CGSize textsize = [myButton.titleLabel.text sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(myButton.frame.size.width,999) lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeTailTruncation]; 

[myButton setFrame:CGRectMake(myButton.frame.origin.x,myButton.frame.origin.y,myButton.frame.size.width, textsize.height)];
