UIButton doesn't get filled entirely with color when in selected state

Question

calling button.selected = true does not fills the entire button frame with tint color.

Expected result

The button should be filled entirely with the tint color in selected state.

Actual result

The tint color only filled the the area around the text in button.

How to fill the entire button frame(area) with the color when the button is in selected(or any other) state?

That doesn't explain how to get different colors for different states — harsh_v, May 17 '16 at 12:55

Please read the questions carefully and let me know how is your question differrent from them. Both the question tries to change the background color of button based on button state using setBackgroundImageForState. They are returning image from color isn't that what you want ??? — Sandeep Bhandari, May 17 '16 at 13:00
Okay. I'll check them. Thanks. Btw solution to both the questions can be same but my question is totally different. @SandeepBhandari — harsh_v, May 17 '16 at 13:05

Instead of using system button. I ended up using custom button style and using different color and icons for different selected state of the button. — harsh_v, Oct 26 '17 at 16:15

Use the backgroundColor instead of tintColor.
You can set it in the Storyboard button's properties. Under "view" section.

As David already said, try changing the background color instead.

If you want to change it through storyboard, then have a look at the attached screenshot.
