5

I'm a bit confused. I found the "selected image tint color" in interface builder in Xcode5. I tried to use it because I really like to do such simple things as color adjustments in IB instead of writing code for it:

enter image description here

This feature has absolutely no effect. When I change the color, it does not apply to the compiled app. I already tried clean, clear, deleting the DerivedData directory and starting a fresh project.

Can anybody tell my why this isn't working?

  • Same problem, did you manage to fix it? – Nicos Karalis Sep 20 '15 at 16:19
  • Not at all. Actually I found more and more dead features in IB... :/ – Julian F. Weinert Sep 20 '15 at 17:47
  • In case anyone is still interested, it turns out the solution is to add a user defined attribute to the tab bar. In the identity inspector for the tab bar you can add a key path "tintColor" of type color and select the color you want with a color picker. I discovered this trick from another SO post that I can't find now, otherwise I would cite it. – daver Mar 07 '16 at 03:46

    True. And there are many other workarounds. But still the question: Why doesn't it do anything. It's just a something like 10 versions bug or so – Julian F. Weinert Mar 08 '16 at 09:41
