Changing the Tint Color of UIBarButtonItem

Question

I have a project using Storyboards and whenever I push a view controller with a segue, the dynamically created bar button item is always blue.

Answer 1

In iOS 8 if you changed UIView tint color for some purpose, for example for branding UIAlertView, tint color for UIBarButtonItem in UIToolBar also changed that way. To fix this, just write this code

[UIView appearance].tintColor = SOME_COLOR;
[UIView appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UIToolbar class], nil].tintColor = BLACK_COLOR;

For UIBarButtonItem tint color in UINavigationBar use standard method

[UINavigationBar appearance].tintColor = BLACK_COLOR;

Answer 2

To change the color of a specific item (e.g. a button) in your nav bar: In Objective-C

myButton.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];
