Set Done Button Colour on SFSafariViewController

Question

I am using the SFSafariViewController to access a website called from a UITableViewController. Because my app has a very light feel attached to it, I have added the following line of code in the AppDelegate:

self.window.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

When running the SFSafariViewController, I get the following:

Is there anyway I can change the colour of the Done button to Blue (as per default)?

I've tried the following when calling the SFSafariViewController but to no effect:

        [self presentViewController:safariVC animated:YES completion:^{
            safariVC.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];


        [self presentViewController:safariVC animated:YES completion:^{
            safariVC.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
        }];

Neither of those work.

I could of course leave the app as default and take out the white setting from the AppDelegate, but I want this approach within the app because Blue just stands out too much with custom themes.

Any guidance on this would be really appreciated.

You can change bar colours globally using appearance proxy:

try

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];

else try

  [self presentViewController:safariVC animated:YES completion:^{

         [safariVC.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
    }];

else try

in AppDelegate.m in the function:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

I've entered the following code:

//SFSafariViewController
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[SFSafariViewController class], nil] setBarTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[SFSafariViewController class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];

or add in your ViewDidLoad

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

Swift

UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()

else try this

self.presentViewController(safariVC, animated: true, completion: {() -> Void in
safariVC.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
})

or do like

 func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject : AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

     UINavigationBar.appearanceWhenContainedIn(SFSafariViewController.self, nil).barTintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
UINavigationBar.appearanceWhenContainedIn(SFSafariViewController.self, nil).tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
}

or finally try this

  self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

Thanks @Anbu - that's very helpful. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get this working, no matter what I tried from your answer, the link and any other answers. It just wouldn't show up as Blue in the SFSafariViewController. Do you have any further thoughts? — amitsbajaj, Nov 03 '15 at 12:37
thats is the way man , I submit my answer in all methods, else check in new/old Xcode version once — Anbu.Karthik, Nov 03 '15 at 12:43
Do you have it working on a device/simulator? I have self.window.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; in the AppDelegate and I think that's overriding everything. That's important for me because I want every back button (Navigation Controller) to be white, but I just can't get the blue to appear. — amitsbajaj, Nov 03 '15 at 12:55
Cool, I got it man. I removed the self.window.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; from the AppDelegate and it defaults back to Blue and in each ViewController, I am adding [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; to the viewDidLoad and it works. Thanks for your help on this man! I appreciate it! — amitsbajaj, Nov 03 '15 at 13:01

You should really add some explanation as to why this should work - you can also add code as well as the comments in the code itself - in its current form, it does not provide any explanation which can help the rest of the community to understand what you did to solve/answer the question. This is especially important for an older question and the questions that already have answers. – ishmaelMakitla Oct 04 '16 at 09:42
It's quite simple really. `let svc = SFSafariViewController(url: URL) svc.preferredBarTintColor = .black svc.preferredControlTintColor = .yellow` The first one colours the bar the second the controls' colours. – yuzer Oct 26 '17 at 22:16
It dose save my time, and it should be the correct answer! – mrfour Apr 06 '18 at 08:28
