How to clear UITextView... for real

This awful hack does the trick:

self.textView.text = @"Something, doesn't matter what as long as it's not empty";
self.textView.text = @"";

Still, it would be nice to confirm if this is a bug or expected behaviour. I couldn't find anything in the documentation about it.

textView.text=@"";
[textView insertText:@""];

try this!
