Replacement for deprecated sizeWithFont: in iOS 7?

deprecated, ios7, objective-c

Solution

Use `sizeWithAttributes:` instead, which now takes an `NSDictionary`. Pass in the pair with key `UITextAttributeFont` and your font object like this:

CGRect rawRect = {};
rawRect.size = [string sizeWithAttributes: @{
    NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:17.0f],
}];

// Values are fractional -- you should take the ceil to get equivalent values
CGSize adjustedSize = CGRectIntegral(rawRect).size;

Problem

In iOS 7, `sizeWithFont:` is now deprecated. How do I now pass in the UIFont object into the replacement method `sizeWithAttributes:`?
