Answer 1

I had the same problem, I did solve it by setting attributed text with space string to refresh control directly after init refresh control

_refreshControl = [[UIRefreshControl alloc]init];
[_refreshControl setAttributedTitle:[[NSAttributedString alloc]initWithString:@" "]];

After that, setting new attributed text to refresh control was without any problems.

[[self refreshControl] setAttributedTitle:[[NSAttributedString alloc]initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Последнее обновление: %@", [dateFormat stringFromDate:[_post dateUpdated]]]]];

UPDATE

I noticed that problem come back when I use attrsDictionary:

this code works fine

NSAttributedString* attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc]initWithString:string];
[[self refreshControl] setAttributedTitle: attributedString];

and this make refreshControl's title appear directly after view loaded

NSAttributedString* attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc]initWithString:string attributes:attrsDictionary];
[[self refreshControl] setAttributedTitle: attributedString];

I didn't find solution yet.

UPDATE

Finally found solution, after refreshcontrol init set attributed string also with attributes:attrsDictionary

NSDictionary *attrsDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:
                                 [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIColor appDarkGray], [UIFont fontWithName:@"OpenSans-CondensedLight" size:14.0f], nil] forKeys:
                                 [NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSForegroundColorAttributeName, NSFontAttributeName, nil]];
[_refreshControl setAttributedTitle:[[NSAttributedString alloc]initWithString:@" " attributes:attrsDictionary]];

so after that there is no problem to set new refreshcontrol's title.

calling endRefreshing under viewWillAppear did it for me:

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [self.refreshControl endRefreshing];
}
