-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    if (textField.text.length >= 50) {
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

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

使用这段代码在这里RESTRICTED_LENGTH是长度你想限制的文本字段。

   - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField     shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    if (textField == nameTF) {
    int limit = RESTRICTED_LENGTH - 1;
    return !([textField.text length]>limit && [string length] > range.length);
    }
   else
   {
    return YES;
   }

return NO;

}

Swift 2.1+

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

    if (range.length + range.location > textField.text!.characters.count )
    {
        return false;
    }

    let newLength = textField.text!.characters.count + string.characters.count - range.length
    return newLength <= 25
}

希望能有所帮助

在Swift 5.2中工作:

 class AngListVC: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var angTextField: UITextField!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        angTextField.delegate = self
        angTextField.addTarget(self, action: #selector(textFieldDidChange(_:)), for: .editingChanged)
      
    }

   func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
           let userText =  angTextField.text ?? ""
           var newText = ""
           if range.length > 0 {
               let txt = NSString(string: userText)
               if txt.length > 0 {
                   newText = txt.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: "")
               }
           } else {
               newText = userText + ""
           }
           return newText.count <= 3
       }

@objc func textFieldDidChange(_ textField: UITextField) {
        print("textFieldDidChange")
   }

为了使它与任何长度的字符串剪切和粘贴工作，我建议将函数更改为如下内容:

#define MAX_LENGTH 20

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
    {
        NSInteger insertDelta = string.length - range.length;

        if (textField.text.length + insertDelta > MAX_LENGTH)
        {
           return NO; // the new string would be longer than MAX_LENGTH
        }
        else {
            return YES;
        }
    }
