DTCoreText: Unrecognized selector exception

I create NSAttributedString following way:


    NSData *data = [htmlText dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTMLData:data documentAttributes:NULL];

Then set UIButton’s AttributedTitle with string from above. App compiles successfully but at run-time I get following error: NSAttributedString


 -[__NSCFType lineBreakMode]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9918e60
 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFType lineBreakMode]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9918e60'

This is the htmlText value: <html><p>Sample text</p></html>

@yas375 I think the option is a bit of a misnomer, it means iOS6 and later.

So you must set the option to YES / true

let str = NSMutableAttributedString(HTMLData: data, options: [DTUseiOS6Attributes: true], documentAttributes: nil)

This should really be made a default since noone is using iOS 5 anymore

This should really be made default, still an issue in 2017.

A simple and permanent fix is to find the file DTCoreTextConstants.m and look for the line: BOOL ___useiOS6Attributes = NO;

change that bool to YES, and you can use the NSAttributedText methods without having to pass an object dictionary.

Add the iOS6-support attribute to the parsing options.
