UITextView link detection in iOS 7

Question

I have a UITextView which is managed via Interface Builder. As data detection I have \"Links\" checked. In iOS 6 everything is working fine and links are highli

Answer 1

It seems that in iOS 7 link detection only works if the UITextView is selectable. So making my UITextView not selectable stopped the the link detection from working.

I also tested this in iOS 6 and I can confirm that in iOS 6 the link detection works fine even with the UITextView not being selectable.
