How to stop unwanted UIButton animation on title change?

Question

In iOS 7 my UIButton titles are animating in and out at the wrong time - late. This problem does not appear on iOS 6. I\'m just using:

[self setTitle:text fo

A convenient extension for animated button title change in Swift that plays nicely with the default implementation:

import UIKit

extension UIButton {
  /// By default iOS animated the title change, which is not desirable in reusable views
  func setTitle(_ title: String?, for controlState: UIControlState, animated: Bool = true) {
    if animated {
      setTitle(title, for: controlState)
    } else {
      UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(false)
      setTitle(title, for: controlState)
      layoutIfNeeded()
      UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(true)
    }
  }
}
