UILabel Text Not Appearing on Some Devices

I have a simple UILabel setup and was receiving reports from some users that they could not see the information. I did some testing and found that I can see the text on my iPhone 4, but when I test on my old iPhone 3G, the text of the label does not appear. I can see the label (it has a colored background) but there is no text.

I am assuming most of the users have a 3GS or better, but have not nailed it down to exactly who is / is not seeing the error.

Any ideas why this could be happening ?

myLabel is linked up to a UILabel in interface builder.

myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
myLabel.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
myLabel.text = @"MY MESSAGE";       
myLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0, 100, 320, 40);
Solution

  • Im assuming that you are using a standard UILabel and not some subclass found on the internet. Are you using a custom font? Are you seeing the red backround? There are many things that could be going wrong, we need some more information.
