你不能直接这样做- UITextField没有maxLength属性，但你可以设置UITextField的委托，然后使用:

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string

下面的代码类似于sickp的答案，但是正确地处理复制-粘贴操作。如果尝试粘贴超过限制的文本，下面的代码将截断文本以符合限制，而不是完全拒绝粘贴操作。

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    static const NSUInteger limit = 70; // we limit to 70 characters
    NSUInteger allowedLength = limit - [textField.text length] + range.length;
    if (string.length > allowedLength) {
        if (string.length > 1) {
            // get at least the part of the new string that fits
            NSString *limitedString = [string substringToIndex:allowedLength];
            NSMutableString *newString = [textField.text mutableCopy];
            [newString replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:limitedString];
            textField.text = newString;
        }
        return NO;
    } else {
        return YES;
    }
}

使用接口构建器，您可以在任何函数中链接并获得“编辑更改”的事件。 现在你可以检查长度

- (IBAction)onValueChange:(id)sender 
{
    NSString *text = nil;
    int MAX_LENGTH = 20;
    switch ([sender tag] ) 
    {
        case 1: 
        {
            text = myEditField.text;
            if (MAX_LENGTH < [text length]) {
                myEditField.text = [text substringToIndex:MAX_LENGTH];
            }
        }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

}

当您粘贴字符串超过您的字符限制时，此代码工作正常。

func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
        let str = (textView.text + text)
        if str.characters.count <= 10 {
            return true
        }
        textView.text = str.substring(to: str.index(str.startIndex, offsetBy: 10))
        return false
    }

Swift 3版本 //*****这将不工作与Swift 2.x!* * * * * / /

首先创建一个新的Swift文件:TextFieldMaxLength.swift， 然后添加下面的代码:

import UIKit

private var maxLengths = [UITextField: Int]()

extension UITextField {

   @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {

      get {

          guard let length = maxLengths[self] 
             else {
                return Int.max
      }
      return length
   }
   set {
      maxLengths[self] = newValue
      addTarget(
         self,
         action: #selector(limitLength),
         for: UIControlEvents.editingChanged
      )
   }
}
func limitLength(textField: UITextField) {
    guard let prospectiveText = textField.text,
        prospectiveText.characters.count > maxLength
    else {
        return
    }

   let selection = selectedTextRange
   let maxCharIndex = prospectiveText.index(prospectiveText.startIndex, offsetBy: maxLength)
   text = prospectiveText.substring(to: maxCharIndex)
   selectedTextRange = selection
   }
}

然后你会看到在故事板一个新的字段(最大长度)当你选择任何TextField
