    <p>We have an attributed string with 3 components, two are basic strings, the third is a link. The string is being rendered by a UITextView. Strangely, the link is invisible on the iPhone, yet renders fine on the iPad. The behavior is consistent regardless of simulator or actual phone.</p> <p>Attempting to change the color of the link has no effect. Interestingly, setting the underline color will show the underline... but the text is still invisible.</p> <p>iOS 7, Xcode 5</p> <p>Here is our code:</p> <pre><code>// put together our text for the about view, includes link to Facebook UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Sansation_Bold_Italic" size:aboutText.font.pointSize]; UIFont *linkFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Sansation_Italic" size:aboutText.font.pointSize]; NSMutableDictionary* linkAttributes = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init]; [linkAttributes setObject:@"https://www.facebook.com/App" forKey:NSLinkAttributeName]; [linkAttributes setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:NSUnderlineStyleSingle] forKey:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName]; [linkAttributes setObject:[UIColor blueColor] forKey:NSStrokeColorAttributeName]; [linkAttributes setObject:[UIColor blueColor] forKey:NSUnderlineColorAttributeName]; [linkAttributes setObject:linkFont forKey:NSFontAttributeName]; NSAttributedString* link = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Facebook" attributes:linkAttributes]; NSMutableAttributedString* mas = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"ABOUTMSG1", nil)]; [mas appendAttributedString:link]; [mas appendAttributedString:[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:NSLocalizedString(@"ABOUTMSG2", nil)]]; [aboutText setAttributedText:mas]; </code></pre> <p>iPhone</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/KtmAO.png" alt="iPhone result"></p> <p>iPad</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JxN7y.png" alt="iPad result"></p> <p>Any thoughts on why the link is not rendering on the iPhone?</p>

    1. COwhat happens if you try a different font, just for testing?

    2. COGreat idea! Was expecting to learn something new, but alas, the results were the same. Used both the system font and bold system font and assigned them to the Attributed string as well as to the UITextView itself. Bummmer, really thought you were on to something there.

    3. COsomething else I've noticed is that you don't do anything with the first line of your code snippet, the "`font`" object. Maybe you should try adding that to the attributed strings you use when setting the label to "`ABOUTMSG1`".

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
