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

Force the setTintColor to run in the main thread. (Main thread updates the ui).

[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^ {
    [self.refreshControl setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
    [self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
}];
