I'm using justified text for my NSAttributedString in my UITextView:
var paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Justified;
normalAttributes.setObject(paragraphStyle, forKey: NSParagraphStyleAttributeName)
The problem is that it stretches some words in order to achieve the justified alignment, instead of just stretching the spaces between the words. I find this very distracting and know there is a way to do such that words are not stretched, but only the spacing. Below is a screenshot from my app, followed by one from an app with some of the same functionality that also uses justified text and the exact same font.
How do I achieve the same effect?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a nasty trick which you can use.
You can use a UIWebView and css to do the alignment the way you want. Here is a sample:
NSString *css = [NSString stringWithFormat:
@"<html><head><style>body { background-color: white; text-align: %@; font-size: %ipx; color: black;} a { color: #172983; } </style></head><body>",
@"justify",
11];
NSMutableString *desc = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@",
css,
@"15 Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν͵ οἵτινες ἔρχονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ἐνδύμασι προβάτων͵ ἔσωθεν δέ εἰσι λύκοι ἅρπαγες. 16 ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν",
@"</body></html>"];
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 80, 150, 100)];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView loadHTMLString:desc baseURL:nil];
And here is the result:
