Changing Font Color of Uibarbuttonitem

How can I change the font color of a UIBarButton item?

This question was answered here. Basically, you have to create a UIButton, configure it as you wish, and then initialize the Bar Button Item with the UIButton as a custom view.

Another method is :-

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"delete.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setTitle:@"Delete" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
 button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:12.0f];
[button.layer setCornerRadius:4.0f];
[button.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
[button.layer setBorderWidth:1.0f];
[button.layer setBorderColor: [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor]];
button.frame=CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 60.0, 30.0);
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(batchDelete)  forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

UIBarButtonItem* deleteItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];

Globally change UIBarButtonItem text color when selected or highlighted

You have your didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function in your AppDelegate witch tells the delegate that the launch process is almost done and the app is almost ready to run.

And in there you can use the appearance on your UIBarButtonItem and UINavigationBar.

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Text
    UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.green], for: .normal)
    UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.darkGray], for: .selected)

    // Images
    UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.orange

    return true
}

Result:

UIBarbuttonItem change the textColor

A UIBarButtonItem's color is its tintColor. (Or it can use the tintColor inherited from the toolbar you put it into.)

The problem was that the button was automatically set as custom. I refigured it to system.

UIBarButtonItem programmatically change color

This is the way, I use text instead of icon. you can user FM symbols of fontawesome or any other. And also you can change the image when button click

class ViewController: UIViewController{

var btnTick:UIBarButtonItem?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    view.backgroundColor = .white
    btnTick  = UIBarButtonItem(title: "2", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(didClickedBtn(_ :)))
    btnTick?.tintColor = .blue
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnTick
}

@objc func didClickedBtn(_ sender : UIBarButtonItem){
    sender.tintColor = .red
    view.layoutIfNeeded()
}

}
