If you want to use multiple hyperlinks you can use this alternative for Swift 5

extension UITextView {

  func addHyperLinksToText(originalText: String, hyperLinks: [String: String]) {
    let style = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
    style.alignment = .left
    let attributedOriginalText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: originalText)
    for (hyperLink, urlString) in hyperLinks {
        let linkRange = attributedOriginalText.mutableString.range(of: hyperLink)
        let fullRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: attributedOriginalText.length)
        attributedOriginalText.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.link, value: urlString, range: linkRange)
        attributedOriginalText.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.paragraphStyle, value: style, range: fullRange)
        attributedOriginalText.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.font, value: YourFont, range: fullRange)
    }

    self.linkTextAttributes = [
        NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: YourColor,
        NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue,
    ]
    self.attributedText = attributedOriginalText
  }
}

Usage:

yourTextView. addHyperLinksToText(originalText: "Testing hyperlinks here and there", hyperLinks: ["here": "someUrl1", "there": "someUrl2"])
