setSelectedImageTintColor not working in iOS 7
ios, ios7, objective-c, uiappearance, uitabbarcontroller
Solution
This is a known issue in iOS 7. The `tintColor` is used for the selected tab image. The `selectedImageTintColor` is completely ignored. There is no way to tint unselected tab images.
See a discussion on the Apple Developer Forums about this.
Please file a bug report with Apple.
Problem
I'm trying to `setSelectedImageTintColor` in iOS 7, but it's not working. Here's the code that I have in my `AppDelegate.m` under `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` ``` UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *) self.window.rootViewController; UITabBar *tabBar = tabBarController.tabBar; for (UITabBarItem *item in tabBar.items) { UIImage *image = item.image; UIImage *correctImage = [image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate]; item.image = correctImage; } [[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; [[UITabBar appearance] setSelectedImageTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:44.0/255.0 green:176.0/255.0 blue:28.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]]; [[UITabBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:51.0/255.0 green:51.0/255.0 blue:51.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]]; ``` It still won't show the selectedImageTintColor. It's white when selected; gray when unselected. What am I doing wrong?
