Question

I have approximately 200 textfields within my app and going through interface builder and changing this feature would take me forever! Is there a quicker way, perhaps in the appdelegate or something?

Answer 1

Do not try this without version control

@Justin is there another way?

200 nibs – mehh… you could try the following:

Create a subclass of UITextField. at some point in the source, disable autocorrect at some point in its implementation.

then replace the UITextField instances in your nibs with your subclass using ibtool

example:

ibtool --convert oldName-newName file.nib

              ibtool will change all classes with the exact
              name "oldName" to be named "newName" instead.

it’s certainly not pretty, but it’s the least tedious (read: least error prone) approach i can think of — for a reasonably quick solution.
