UIBarButtonItem setTintColor doesn't work on iOS7

Question

In iOS6, I used this code to make my UIBarButtonItem:

UIBarButtonItem* validate = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@\"MyTitle\" style:UIBarButtonItemSty         


        

Answer 1

I couldn't get @Chris's method to work (iOS 8 like @Adama says).

My use case is that I want to set all UIToolbar & UINavigationBar buttons to a default colour. So using the UIAppearance API:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.redColor()], forState: .Normal)
