Toggle Selectedrange Attributes in Uitextview

Toggle selectedRange attributes in UITextView

This might do the trick:

func toggleBold() {
    if let textRange = selectedRange {

        let attributedString = NSAttributedString(attributedString: noteContents.attributedText)

        //Enumerate all the fonts in the selectedRange
        attributedString.enumerateAttribute(.font, in: textRange, options: []) { (font, range, pointee) in
            let newFont: UIFont
            if let font = font as? UIFont {
                if font.fontDescriptor.symbolicTraits.contains(.traitBold) { //Was bold => Regular
                    newFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: font.pointSize, weight: .regular)
                } else { //Wasn't bold => Bold
                    newFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: font.pointSize, weight: .bold)
                }
            } else { //No font was found => Bold
                newFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .bold) //Default bold
            }
            noteContents.textStorage.addAttributes([.font : newFont], range: textRange)
        }
    }
}

We use enumerateAttribute(_:in:options:using:) to look for fonts (since bold/non-bold) is in that attribute.
We change it according to your needs (bold <=> unbold).

How to change some text colors in multiple colored UITextView

Use method enumerateAttribute:inRange:options:usingBlock:

Example Obj-C:

NSMutableAttributedString *string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:@"Test Attributed String"];
[string addAttribute:NSStrokeColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(3, string.length-3)];
[string enumerateAttribute:NSStrokeColorAttributeName inRange:NSMakeRange(0, string.length) options:NSAttributedStringEnumerationReverse usingBlock:^(id  _Nullable value, NSRange range, BOOL * _Nonnull stop) {
    // value is color
}];

Replace UITextViews text with attributed string

I am not sure that this is correct solution, but it works.

Just disable scrolling before formatting text and enable it after formatting

- (void)formatTextInTextView:(UITextView *)textView
{
    textView.scrollEnabled = NO;
    NSRange selectedRange = textView.selectedRange;
    NSString *text = textView.text;

    // This will give me an attributedString with the base text-style
    NSMutableAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text];

    NSError *error = nil;
    NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"#(\\w+)" options:0 error:&error];
    NSArray *matches = [regex matchesInString:text
                                      options:0
                                        range:NSMakeRange(0, text.length)];

    for (NSTextCheckingResult *match in matches)
    {
        NSRange matchRange = [match rangeAtIndex:0];
        [attributedString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName
                                 value:[UIColor redColor]
                                 range:matchRange];
    }

    textView.attributedText = attributedString;
    textView.selectedRange = selectedRange;
    textView.scrollEnabled = YES;
}
