Just stumbled upon an amusing bug in iOS 7. UITextView refused to change font size and color in Storyboard and xib files. Those storyboards were converted from iOS 5 format long time ago and so far I have not had any incompatibility issues until now. Whatever I was trying, UITextView controls did not want to change the font!<\/p>\n

After hours of random experiments and googling I’ve found a workaround. Change font and color programmatically, but… you have to make UITextView editable first. You’ve heard that right. So code should look like this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

textView.editable = YES;
\ntextView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@\"Arial\" size:24];
\ntextView.editable = NO;<\/p>\n

<\/code><\/p>\n

P.S. Thanks Apple for all wasted hours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
