iOS UIBarButtonItem only change after first press

Question

Im having issue where i just using a simple UIBarButton and named it "Send" and white tint color using Storyboard

In viewdidload, i use this code to change the tint color to red, but it stay to white color, and only change to red after i press it 1 time and also, it become a bit smaller @-@ , cant figure out whats the problem here, i dont have any code before that can change the button

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [_sendEPinButton setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

    center = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
    [center addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardOnScreen:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
    [center addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardOffScreen:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];

    CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *networkInfo = [[CTTelephonyNetworkInfo alloc] init];
    CTCarrier *carrier = [networkInfo subscriberCellularProvider];

    if (carrier.isoCountryCode.length == 0) {
        self.geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];

        self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];

        if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]) {
            [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
        }

        self.locationManager.delegate = self;
        self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
        [self.locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
//        [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    } else {
        countryCodeString = carrier.isoCountryCode;
    }
    _contactTextfield.delegate = self;

    [_contactTextfield setTintColor:colorFromRGB(67, 160, 48)];
}

In .h file

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *sendEPinButton;

Please put the code in ViewDidAppear method and see. Sometimes the outlets will not load properly in view did load method.

you should write these line in viewdidload or where you created your UIBarButtonItem..

[_sendEPinButton setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

Sorry, as i said, i really don't have any code that change the UIBarButtonItem before that line, the only thing that i did is create the button in storyboard and set tint to white and name it Send, thats all – Tj3n Sep 07 '15 at 11:45
