iOS 7 UIRefreshControl tintColor not working for beginRefreshing

Question

I\'m trying to set a tintColor on my UIRefreshControl (building on iOS 7). I enabled refreshing for the tableViewController in storyboard, then in my ViewController vi

Answer 1

I combined some of the previous answers. This works for me on iOS 9 and Swift 2:

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    let contentOffset = self.tableView.contentOffset.y
    UIView.animateWithDuration(0, delay: 0, options: .BeginFromCurrentState, animations: {
        print(self.tableView.contentOffset.y)
            self.tableView.setContentOffset(CGPointMake(0, -self.refreshControl.frame.size.height), animated: false)
        }, completion: { finished in
            self.refreshControl.beginRefreshing()
            self.tableView.setContentOffset(CGPointMake(0, contentOffset/2-self.refreshControl.frame.size.height), animated: true)
            self.refresh() // Code that refresh table data
    })        
}
