iOS 7 - Change bar button size

ios, ios7, objective-c

Solution

Use the `setTitleTextAttributes:forState:` method on the `UIBarButtonItem`.

NSDictionary *attrs = @{ NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont systemFontOfSize:10] };
[barButtonItem setTitleTextAttributes:attrs forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Obviously you can choose whatever font you want.

Problem

Is there any legitimate way to change the size of a bar button in iOS 7 (i.e. the font size of the text)? I find the default bar button size a bit too big comparing to the navigation bar title.
