How to have individual selected image color for TabBarItem

Question

I\'ve been through most to all of these SO Q/A and none of which worked; many refers to older version of xcode.

I\'m using Xcode 8. I have a TabBarItem with a red image.

Answer 1

When I run the app, it's blue -- it should be red, why it's blue?

That's because blue is the tint color. If you want to use the red of the original image, and not the tint color, turn the image into a rendered image with rendering mode alwaysOriginal. If this is supposed to be the color only when the tab bar item is selected, supply it as the selectedImage.
