How do you color/customize the UIImagePickerController's Navigation Bar?

swift, uiimagepickercontroller

Solution

Updated for Swift 4.2

For completeness, I'll add full color customization setup:

let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
imagePicker.navigationBar.barTintColor = .blue // Background color
imagePicker.navigationBar.tintColor = .white // Cancel button ~ any UITabBarButton items
imagePicker.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [
        NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white
] // Title color

which results in:

Problem

What is the correct way to color the UIImagePickerController's nav bar? I merely tried to see the background color but I'm getting a faded color as seen in the image below; as if some view is obstructing it. ``` let picker = UIImagePickerController() picker.sourceType = type picker.mediaTypes = [kUTTypeImage] picker.delegate = self picker.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor() ``` It appears to have some view obscuring the redColor(): ``` (lldb) po picker.navigationBar.subviews 2 values { [0] = 0x00007fe7bb52a890 [1] = 0x00007fe7bb52b670 } ``` What is the correct way to create a solid color for the Navigation Bar?
