How to make URL/Phone-clickable UILabel?

Use UITextView instead of UILabel and it has a property to convert your text to hyperlink.

Objective-C:

yourTextView.editable = NO;
yourTextView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll;

Swift:

yourTextView.editable = false; 
yourTextView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypes.All;

This will detect links automatically.

See the documentation for details.

You can make a custom UIButton and setText what ever you want and add a method with that.

UIButton *sampleButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[sampleButton setFrame:CGRectMake(kLeftMargin, 10, self.view.bounds.size.width - kLeftMargin - kRightMargin, 52)];
[sampleButton setTitle:@"URL Text" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[sampleButton setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20]];


[sampleButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:sampleButton];


-(void)buttonPressed:(id)sender{
  // open url
}

You can use a UITextView and select Detection for Links, Phone Numbers and other things in the inspector.

That's definitely what you need. You can also apply attributes for your label, like underline, and apply different colors to it. Just check the instructions for clickable urls.

Mainly, you do something like the following:

NSRange range = [label.text rangeOfString:@"me"];
[label addLinkToURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://github.com/mattt/"] withRange:range]; // Embedding a custom link in a substring
