NSForegroundColorAttributeName

This is the url i referred

my code snippet

NSMutableAttributedString * string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:self.myDisplayTxt];
    [string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(0,5)];

Answer 1

Try using kCTForegroundColorAttributeName.

Your code

NSMutableAttributedString * string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:self.myDisplayTxt];
    [string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(0,5)];

Make this change

[string addAttribute:(NSString*)kCTForegroundColorAttributeName 
                value:(id)[[UIColor redColor] CGColor]
                range:NSMakeRange(0,5)];

From sample code by apple,

Add following after #import line to your .m file in which u use addAttribute:

#if (TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED || TARGET_OS_IPHONE)
#import <CoreText/CoreText.h>
#else
#import <AppKit/AppKit.h>
#endif

Pls see if this helps. DONT FORGET TO ADD CORETEXT FRAMEWORK
