Answer 1

It seems like a bug of UILabel,but you can fix it with a tiny change in your storyboard.
Click the more button in the same line of NSTextAlignments,add a little Head Indent ,such as 0.1 .
Your UILabel will work just fine.

Answer 2

This should work. Here is what I get from the simulator:
What I've done:
Drag & drop an UILabel on the storyboard and add some constrains, and colours as well.
Set the text as "attributed"
Put your text in the text field.
Click on justify.
Change the police
Numbers of lines 0.
At this point you should have this:
Now from the storyboard to your controller add an IBOutlet (Ctrl + drag it to the top of your controller). It should be like this:
Now add some code in your viewDidLoad fct:
let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Justified
let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: label.text!, attributes: [ NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraphStyle, NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName: NSNumber(float: 0)
])
label.attributedText = attributedString
label.numberOfLines = 0
The last thing to do is to run your simulator to see if it does what you are expected:
P.S: With xCode 7.2 works definitely. It works for me on both version.

Here is one solution to solve my problem right now. I set the alignment justified for my UILabel programmatically and it work
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraph = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragraph.alignment = NSTextAlignmentJustified;
NSDictionary *attribute = #{
NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraph,
NSFontAttributeName: self.describesLabel.font,
NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:0]
};
NSAttributedString *attributeMessage = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:self.describesLabel.text attributes:attribute];
self.describesLabel.attributedText = attributeMessage;

Answer 4

Don't use attributed text just use Plain text and select all the text and make it justify. I am facing the same problem fixed it by changing attributed to plain text in Storyboard.
If it doesn't work then you have to fix it by code :-
Using Attributed Text:-
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle.new;
paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignmentJustified;
NSDictionary *attrsDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:yourFont,NSFontAttributeName,paragraphStyle,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, nil];
NSAttributedString *attributeMessage = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:yourTextString attributes:attrsDictionary];
self.yourLabel.attributedText = attributeMessage;
Using Plain Text :-
self.yourLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentJustified;
self.yourLabel.font = yourFont;
self.yourLabel.text = yourTextString;
Hope It helps...

Answer 5

You can do it programatically if its not working from storyboard or nib
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignmentJustified;
NSAttributedString *string = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:#"Your text here"];
attributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
paragraphStyle, NSParagraphStyleAttributeName ,
[NSNumber numberWithFloat:0],NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName,
nil]];
self.yourLabel.attributedText = string;
