UILineBreakModeWordWrap is deprecated

Question

Here's my code:

CGSize s = [string sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20]
               constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(self.view.bounds.size.width - 40, CGFLOAT_MAX) // - 40 For cell padding
                   lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

I get a warning that UILinebBreakModeWordWrap is deprecated in iOS 6.

You need to use NSLineBreakByWordWrapping in iOS 6

For your code try this:

NSString *string = @"bla";

CGSize s = [string sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20]
              constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(self.view.bounds.size.width - 40, CGFLOAT_MAX) // - 40 For cell padding
                  lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

an example on a label would be:

[label setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

Instead of

label.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

Why Apple just changed name of it ? What's the purpose ? – Paweł Brewczynski Apr 06 '14 at 06:58

To maintain backward compatibility, you can create a macro as below:

#ifdef __IPHONE_6_0
# define LINE_BREAK_WORD_WRAP NSLineBreakByWordWrapping
#else
# define LINE_BREAK_WORD_WRAP UILineBreakModeWordWrap
#endif

Why does Xcode still flag the warnings if the Macro is there? – William GP Mar 03 '16 at 07:39
Do you have min SDK <= ios 6? do you use swift or objective-C? – Mihriban Minaz Mar 03 '16 at 15:06
SDK is 9.2, Min target is ios7, Obj-C – William GP Mar 04 '16 at 03:46
Then use NSLineBreakByWordWrapping directly. – Mihriban Minaz Mar 04 '16 at 08:57
