When text is selected everything becomes white ios swift - ios

I have been working with JLStickerTextView. it has a JLAttributedTextView which basically extends UITextView.
My problem is When I select a text inside the JLAttributedTextView, everything becomes white.
Normally it looks like this

But after selecting the texts, it becomes like this

I needed to clear the tint color from the textview. And it solved the issue. Thanks.

UITabBar first item title overlapping

I'm using tabbar with four tabs with title. I'm setting different color for selected and unselected tabs. But only for the first tab, the selected and unselected colors & title are getting overlapped. Whenever I'm selecting first tab, title is getting added again and again. I have attached screenshot as well.
In storyboard
Anyhelp could be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You problem is most likely from the color you use for unselectedItemTintColor, which you have set to have transparency. This color should probably be solid. Try changing it to a solid version of what you want to see, like #EB989E.
Also be aware that you are setting an internal property, and as such it may change or disappear in a future release of iOS.

UIButton image tint not working

One of my apps has three UIButtons on it, and they use images that I got from icons8. In the code, I change the tint color and it works fine. Whatever I set the tint color to is what color the button image becomes that color.
Today I wanted to add a fourth button to mute sound. I downloaded the images that I wanted from icons8, added the button and set it up like I have the rest of the buttons set up. The new button is not changing colors like the rest of them. I'm certain that it has to do with the image, because if I select a different image, it changes color. I also tried using the new image on one of the older buttons and it would not change color.
My question - is there anything special that needs to be done to an image to make it work with tint color?
Try setting the image to render as a template image. You can do this in your .xcasset folder selecting the image set, opening the attributes inspector and setting render as to "template image."
What I did was follow the #beyowulf instructions and on the code I just did this
yourBtn.tintColor = .white (or other color)
this worked for me

Text selected without showing the pins

Is there a way to programmatically select a text without showing the pins at the beginning and at the end of the selected text?
Example:
Although you should be more precise, I presume you just want to highlight some parts of the text with a background color. Therefore you can use NSAttributedString.
You can look up how to create an attributed String here and how to use background color on it here.

How do I re-use a color value throughout a storyboard

I am using storyboard to lay out my iOS app. I want to re-use some colors, and I don't want to re-enter the same hex string multiple times. What is the best way to do this?
You can drag the current color in the color picker (from the bottom left) to the list of swatches as in the screenshot:
You can also use the dropdown for picking a color to use a recent color. The list of recently used colors looks like it keeps 24 of them.

Color slightly different when reapplying it programmatically [duplicate]

I have really weird problem with colors in interface builder. I set a color on one UI element, for example UIView, and then I want the same color on UIButton...but when I try to do so, colors are often different - I mean little bit different tone, not absolutely different color. How is this even possible ??? I've tried to use RGB sliders, and other sliders, also that color picker tool... Only thing that helps me sometimes is, when I create new UI element. Anybody had the same problem and knows what's going on ?
Interface Builder filters colors through your monitor's current color space by default. You can change this in Xcode4 IB by bringing up a Colors dialog, clicking the Sliders tab, then clicking the little dropdown button under the magnifying glass that looks like a color spectrum. This will bring up a list of available color spaces -- select Generic RGB and adjust the sliders as necessary to get the correct color.
See this question for more information, especially the comments on the accepted answer.
I solved this issue using "Device RGB" instead "Generic RGB".
See the image:
Unfortunately, fiddling with color spaces didn't work for me. What did work was editing the raw xml of the .xib (right click .xib, Open As > Source Code) and changing the RGB decimal values there.
The currently selected item in interface builder will be slightly different to its actual colour - it has a darkened mask applied to it to highlight the fact that it is selected. You need to click somewhere else in the window to unselect the item, it's real colour will then be shown. I've fallen into this trap myself.
