How do you set the text for a UILabel to bold in Swift programmatically? My code so far:

    var label = UILabel(frame:theFrame)
    label.text = "Foo"

Answer

Use font property of UILabel:

label.font = UIFont(name:"HelveticaNeue-Bold", size: 16.0)

or use default system font to bold text:

label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
