iOS PopoVer NavigationBar don't show BarTintColor - uinavigationbar

In our app we're setting the navigationbar and toolbar color with the following code. With iOS 8.x this is working fine. Recently I have tested the app with iOS 7.x and the colors aren't shown. The bars are transparent and the text has white color (so this worked...)
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:167.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[[UIToolbar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:167.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
[[UIToolbar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
[UIColor clearColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:19.0], NSFontAttributeName,
nil]];
I hope somebody could explain me how to solve this. Setting the bars background color is no solution to me because i would use transparency.

The solution to this issue is to set the color-values manually in the popping-up ViewController again for iOS 7.
self.navigationController.toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
[self.navigationController.toolbar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self.navigationController.toolbar setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:167.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:167.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];

Navigation bar Background not showing color

I am using MFMailComposeViewController for sending mails.
I have cutomise set the navigation bar with blue color
But issue is that its working fine in my simulator and ipod 5 but color of navigation not showing in iphone 5
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Topbar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:

navigationBar.barTintColor always black and not possible to change it

The navigationBar.barTintColor in my app is always black, and there is no way I can change it. I checked all classes and I never set it to black, but I do set it to UIColor clearColor. Still, the bar is black. Any suggestions?
Edit:I found out that the problem is with my [UIColor clearColor], when I change it to any other color it changes the color like it should, but clearColor makes it appear black.
Have a look there
Try modifying the Style and Translucent attributes on the navigation bar (top right in image).
If you are having problems modifying the status bar color, try adding this to your .plist (line below).
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>
Finally, here's some code you may want.
// Status bar color
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:yourStyle];
// Navigation bars color
[UINavigationBar appearance].barStyle = yourStyle;
[UINavigationBar appearance].barTintColor = [UIColor yourColor];
// Navigation bars items color
[UINavigationBar appearance].tintColor = [UIColor yourColor];
If its IOS7 try the code below
[[UINavigationBar appearance]setBarTintColor: [<Specify the UIColor you want>];
In IOS6 try this
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor: [<Specify the UIColor you want>];
Edit:
I think you have given
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor clearColor];
This will give black color. If you want any specific tint color, it must be specifed after clearing
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor <specify your color>];
if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 7.0)
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"nav_bg.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
#{
UITextAttributeTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor],UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: [UIColor clearColor],UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset: [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0f, 1.0f)],UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"ArialMT" size:18.0f]
}];
CGFloat verticalOffset = -4;
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:verticalOffset forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
else
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
// Uncomment to change the color of back button
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
// Uncomment to assign a custom backgroung image
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"nav_bg_ios7.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// Uncomment to change the back indicator image
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackIndicatorImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#""]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackIndicatorTransitionMaskImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#""]];
// Uncomment to change the font style of the title
NSShadow *shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8];
shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor colorWithRed:245.0/255.0 green:245.0/255.0 blue:245.0/255.0 alpha:1.0], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,shadow, NSShadowAttributeName,[UIFont fontWithName:#"ArialMT" size:18.0], NSFontAttributeName, nil]];
CGFloat verticalOffset = -4;
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:verticalOffset forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
In iOS 7 try:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO];

MFMailComposeViewController appearance setTintColor getting lost iOS 7

This question is for Xcode 5 running iOS 7 and is super weird. I am trying to set all the UInavigation and UIBarButtonItem text colors to white.
So in my app launch delegate I set the code as.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UIImage *NavigationPortraitBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:#"button_header_blue"];
// Set the background image all UINavigationBars
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:NavigationPortraitBackground forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// Set the text appearance for navbar
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 0)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica Neue" size:21], UITextAttributeFont,
nil]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
nil];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:attributes forState: UIControlStateNormal];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return YES;
}
If I launch "send mail" action twice
- first time I see UIBarButton items white. I look at it and hit the Cancel button
- second time I see them all of them grayed out and barely visible except for the title.
- This is happening in both my iPhone simulator and iPhone running iOS 7.
how can I fix this?
I had to do it this way in order for it to work on iOS 7
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
MFMailComposeViewController *mailViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailViewController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[mailViewController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

Change navigation bar tint color iOS 7.

I know how to change navigation bat tint colour in iOS 6:
[UINavigationBar appearance].tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:129/255.0 green:200/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0];
I'm adding this code in APPDelegate page.
Now I want to do this in iOS 7 but above code is not working.
I searched on net. I got a solution. By adding below function to every page I can change navigation color.
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:129/255.0 green:200/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0];
But I need a function which can add to APPDelegate function.
Please help me to overcome this issue.
Why not to use setBarTintColor for appearance proxy, you can do this:
if (floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1)
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:129/255.0 green:200/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
}
else
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:129/255.0 green:200/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
}
you can add bellow code in appdelegate.m
if your app is navigation based
// for background color
[nav.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
// for change navigation title and button color
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, [UIFont fontWithName:#"FontNAme" size:20], NSFontAttributeName, nil]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
Using respondsToSelector for version checking may be better.
if ([self.navigationBar respondsToSelector:#selector(setBarTintColor:)]) {
[self.navigationBar setBarTintColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:129/255.0 green:200/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
} else {
[self.navigationBar setTintColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:129/255.0 green:200/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
}
In Swift, for me, I wanted to change tint color for the Cancel and Send buttons, when the e-mail pops up. And it worked great.
(UIBarButtonItem.appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses([UINavigationBar.self])).tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
Try [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO];

Can I change the "MessageUI.framework"?
To answer your request regarding customizing the appearance of ALL navigation bars in the app, use this in your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: in your app delegate:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setAlpha:1];
//change background image and tint color for navigation buttons
// Set the text appearance for navbar
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:2 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; //change vertical appearance of navigation bar title
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor clearColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(1, 1)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue" size:22], UITextAttributeFont,
nil]]; //set custom font info
