iOS 11 adds smart quotes when typing. In macOS we can disable smart quotes on a NSTextView by setting:
textView.automaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled = NO;Neither UITextField or UITextView seem to have this property or the
enabledTextCheckingTypes property. How can smart quotes be disabled on iOS 11?
textView.smartQuotesType = UITextSmartQuotesTypeNo;Hi, I have multiple textView's in my app, so it is better way for me to disable smart quotes via appearance, but in leads to crash:
if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
[[UITextField appearance] setSmartQuotesType:UITextSmartQuotesTypeNo];
}Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Please file a radar on UIKit with this log if you see this assertion. selectorString = setSmartQuotesType:, exercisedImplementations = { "setSmartQuotesType:" = ( ); }'
is anybody knows how to avoid this? Already sent bug report
Based on my tests and this SO post, it still happens if you copy/paste or set programmatically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44932863/ios-11-disable-smart-quotes
