How to add a link using NSMutableAttributedString that is not underlined?

Question

I'm trying to programmatically add a link to the last part of a UILabel, but not have the entire UILabel become a link (ignore the ranges as I changed the input string).

let mutableString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "This is a string. This is the link that should be underlined")

mutableString.addAttribute(NSLinkAttributeName, value: "www.website.com", range: NSMakeRange(57, 16))

self.label.attributedText = mutableString

The above code does what I want functionally, but now the link is underlined, which is not what I want. So I added the following line:

mutableString.addAttribute(NSUnderlineColorAttributeName, value: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleNone.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(57, 16))

Now the text in the range won't appear at all. Any ideas as to how to make this work?

Try this

EDITED

    let mutableString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "This is a string. This is the link that should be underlined")

    mutableString.addAttribute(NSLinkAttributeName, value: "www.website.com", range: NSMakeRange(0, 16))
    mutableString.addAttribute(NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, value: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleNone.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0, 16))
    mutableString.addAttribute(NSUnderlineColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.clearColor(), range: NSMakeRange(0, 16))

I hope this helps you, for me works like charm
