Set cursor to the beginning inside UITextView

textView.selectedRange = NSMakeRange(0, 0);

This has no effect on where the cursor is placed.

I then used a breakpoint and typed in po textView.selectedRange in the debugger.

The result was:

(lldb) property 'selectedRange' not found on object of type 'UITextView *'

Since UITextView inherits from UIResponder. So, you can call the -becomeFirstResponder method on your text view, which will cause it to become the first responder and begin editing:

    [textView becomeFirstResponder];

After that, you can selectedRange of UITextView.

    [textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 10)];

Steps

  1. Added the UITextView in Story board view controller.

  2. Added the UITextView delegate in View controller. 

    @interface SecondViewController : UIViewController<UITextViewDelegate>

  3. Assign the property to text view.

    @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *textView;

  4. And selected the text range in textview.

    - (void)viewDidLoad {
      [super viewDidLoad];
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

        [self.textView becomeFirstResponder];
        [self.textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 10)];
}
