I am trying to get it to recognize a link using these settings: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8HJIA.png" alt="Settings"> Unfortunately the link does not show up when I run in the simulator (it only shows as plain text): <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wBqIf.png" alt="In simulator"> How can I get the <code>UITextView</code> to recognize the link and display it properly?
