UITextView style is being reset after setting text property
Sitting with this for hours, I found the bug.If the property "Selectable" = NO it will reset the font and fontcolor when setText is used.
So turn Selectable ON and the bug is gone.
I ran into the same issue (on Xcode 6.1) and while John Cogan's answer worked for me, I found that extending the UITextView class with a category was a better solution for my particular project.
interface
@interface UITextView (XcodeSetTextFormattingBugWorkaround) - (void)setSafeText:(NSString *)textValue;@endimplementation
@implementation UITextView (XcodeSetTextFormattingBugWorkaround)- (void)setSafeText:(NSString *)textValue{ BOOL selectable = [self isSelectable]; [self setSelectable:YES]; [self setText:textValue]; [self setSelectable:selectable];}@end
If you want your text view to be "read only" you can check Editable and Selectable and uncheck User Interaction Enabled, with this the UITextView was behaving as I wanted
