Replacement for deprecated sizeWithFont: in iOS 7?

Question

In iOS 7, sizeWithFont: is now deprecated. How do I now pass in the UIFont object into the replacement method sizeWithAttributes:?

Answer 1

I created a category to handle this problem, here it is :

#import "NSString+StringSizeWithFont.h"

@implementation NSString (StringSizeWithFont)

- (CGSize) sizeWithMyFont:(UIFont *)fontToUse
{
    if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(sizeWithAttributes:)])
    {
        NSDictionary* attribs = @{NSFontAttributeName:fontToUse};
        return ([self sizeWithAttributes:attribs]);
    }
    return ([self sizeWithFont:fontToUse]);
}

This way you only have to find/replace sizeWithFont: with sizeWithMyFont: and you're good to go.
