Change UITextField and UITextView Cursor / Caret Color
colors, ios, text-cursor, uitextfield, uitextview
Solution
If you're targeting iOS 7+, this has been made much easier. Simply change the `tintColor` of the field with a cursor using the appearance proxy and it will apply throughout the app:
Swift 3.0:
UITextField.appearance().tintColor = .black
Objective-C:
[[UITextField appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
Same answer applies for an individual `UITextField`:
Swift 3.0:
myTextField.tintColor = .black
Objective-C
[myTextField setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
Problem
I'm wondering about changing the color of the cursor / caret in a `UITextField` (And `UITextView` if its the same answer) in iOS. I've seen answers for OSX development, but nothing for iOS. Is this even possible?
