Question

I don\'t t

I had the same problem and for me it worked with layoutIfNeeded after setting the attributedTitle:

- (void)setRefreshControlText:(NSString *)text
{
    UIColor *fg = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.4 alpha:1.0];
    NSDictionary *attrsDictionary = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: fg};
    self.refreshControl.attributedTitle = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text attributes:attrsDictionary];
    [self.refreshControl layoutIfNeeded];
}

Cédric suggested to use [self.refreshControl setNeedsLayout], but this does not force an immediate update of the view, so you must use layoutIfNeeded.
