In my app the user can enter notes/annotations in Textfields. I store the data in json files. All well and dandy. What I'd like to add is to make urls in the notes clickable when viewing them (not when entering them) and open them in app in a SafariViewController...

Doable? Any pointers?

You need to use UITextView, this has automatic links detection and it will make them tappable.

Next step is to use this delegate method, return false and manually open the SFSafariViewController :-)

I do use TextViews, my bad! I will try that out! Thanks Filip!

On second thought, for viewing (in table cells ie) they are labels I think. I use TextViews for entering the data. Ok, might have to rethink this ...

There are some cumbersome ways to make this work for labels I think but TextView will be easier solution.

I'll have to rewrite some stuff then, gonna give it a go ...

I am also looking for the same solution.
