Change of UITextField placeholder color

Question

How to dynamically change placeholder color of the UITextField? This is always the same system color.

No option in xib editor.

Answer 1

I use this in SWIFT:

myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "placeholder", attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.redColor()])

It seems that this works for others... I have no idea why it haven't worked for me before... maybe some project settings. Thanks for the comments. Currently I have no way how to test it again.

Obsolete: But I don't know why, text is applied correctly, but placeholder color remains same (black/gray).
