Why is my UIButton.tintColor not working?

Question

My build target is set for IOS5 which is where I understand UIButton.tintColor was introduced...

I have this in my viewDidLoad for the View Controller

Answer 1

As stated in other answers tint does not work for Custom Button types. Make sure you explicitly declare the button type. Do not just use [UIButton alloc] init]

This will work:

UIButton *mybutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[mybutton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
mybutton.tintColor = [ODTheme blueTintColor];
