I\'m using storyboards for my UI. I was previously using XCode 4.6 and released on iOS 6. I have since updated to iOS 7 using XCode 5 and updated the Storyboard to work nice
In my case, it is matter of 'selectable' property of UITextView.
So I checked 'selectable' property of UITextView in Storyboard Editor to set it YES
and later in viewWillAppear set this property to NO.
textview.text = @"some text"; textview.selectable = NO;
