AttributedString on a CollectionView cell is not displaying string value
I have a UICollectinViewCell with a label set to attributedString.
Inside cellForItem, I cast a simple string to an NSAttributedString so that I can set the UILabel's attributedText property.
The string "Attributed String Text" only appears if I scroll the CollectionView. If I do not scroll, "Label" appears, as that's the text that is set in IB. If I keep the UILabel as plain, the correct text appears just fine.
// cellForItemAt
let string = "Attributed String Text"
let mutableAttributedString = NSAttributedString(string: string)
cell.subName.attributedText = mutableAttributedString
How can I get the attributedText to show without having to scroll the CollectionView?

Where you set the delegate and dataSource ?

I set the delegate and dataSource in viewDidLoad.

can you post full context

Trycell.subName.text = "Something"instead. If you don't see something, that's not related to NSAttributedString, butUICollectionView. But we need more context, full code of cellForItemAt, a reuse issue?

@Larme Thanks, I will try that. I will post more code from the project as well.

I figured it out. I believe it may be an Xcode bug. Nothing was wrong with my code. Normal (plain) text UILabel was displaying proper text just fine. When I switched it to attributed UILabel, the text stopped displaying with no other code changes.
After digging around for a while, I found this thread: Label text in UICollectionViewCell not updating where user Jacksonsox was having a similar issue.
In Interface Builder, I removed the connection to the UILabel that wasn't updating, deleted the UILabel, re-added a new label, re-connected it, set it to Attributed text, and the text now shows up just fine. Again, no code changes made. Only changes were in IB.
I hope this helps others who are experiencing similar issues.
