An Objective-C library providing NSString and UIImage categories for using Font Awesome icons in iOS apps. It lets developers render Font Awesome glyphs as label text or generate icon images, plus an FAImageView placeholder component.
Use cases
- add font awesome icons to iOS labels
- render icon glyphs from font awesome in uikit
- generate icon uiimages with custom colors on iOS
- use font awesome icons as image view placeholders
- display github or other brand icons in an iOS app
When to choose
- you maintain an older Objective-C iOS codebase and want lightweight Font Awesome icons without dependencies
- you need simple icon text or generated icon images in UIKit
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Swift project - use actively maintained alternatives like FontAwesome.swift
- you need recent Font Awesome icon versions or ongoing updates
- you use SwiftUI rather than UIKit
