I just upgraded to xcode 4.5 with iOS 6.0 and it's highlighting a warning on all the UILabels in my XIB files saying "minimum font size deprecated on ios version 6.0". Does anyone know what this is referring to and how to fix it?

minimumFontSize property of the UILabel is deprecated from iOS 6.0 onwards.

An Alternative to the minimumFontSize is minimumScaleFactor. If you assign minimumFontSize/defaultFontSize to minimumScaleFactor, it works in the same way as minimumFontSize.

The Code is as follows - For Example the font size is 30.0 and if you want the minimum font size to be 12.0

YOURLABEL.font= [UIFont fontWithName:@"FONT_NAME" size:30.0];
[YOURLABEL setMinimumScaleFactor:12.0/[UIFont labelFontSize]];
