Replacement for deprecated sizeWithFont: in iOS 7?

Question

In iOS 7, sizeWithFont: is now deprecated. How do I now pass in the UIFont object into the replacement method sizeWithAttributes:?

Answer 1

As you can see sizeWithFont at Apple Developer site it is deprecated so we need to use sizeWithAttributes.

#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending)

NSString *text = @"Hello iOS 7.0";
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(@"7.0")) {
    // code here for iOS 5.0,6.0 and so on
    CGSize fontSize = [text sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" 
                                                         size:12]];
} else {
    // code here for iOS 7.0
   CGSize fontSize = [text sizeWithAttributes: 
                            @{NSFontAttributeName: 
                              [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:12]}];
}
