BEST solution for FA with XCode:

1. Copy the icon you want from http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/ (I mean mark and copy the icon itself):

2. Then add a label to your storyboard, and on its properties:

• RED - Choose FontAwesome as family
• GREEN - Set the size you want
• BLUE - Paste here what you copied in the 1st step. (dont worry about the question mark - in the view you should see it properly).

That's it.

If you need to change the icon in the code - you can paste 1st step inside your code too:
