Change Safari View Controller Done Button tint?

Question

I can change bottom UI bar with:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.redColor()

Can't locate how to do same with top-right "Done" button.

Here's where that works in AppDelegate.swift:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.redColor()

    return true
}

Adding this does not work:

UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.redColor()

@AdrianB Couldn't get that to work before. Maybe because this is new rev in 9. — user1452893, Nov 08 '15 at 22:49

To change de Done button color and also the bottom UI bar you have to set the tintColor property of the SFSafariViewController's view

example:

let webVC = SFSafariViewController(URL: yourURL)
webVC.view.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()

Ismael's answer didn't work in iOS 10 for me. Since iOS 10 SFSafariViewController has a property preferredControlTintColor to set the color of the buttons. Another new property is preferredBarTintColor fyi.

This is my approach in Swift 3:

let svc = SFSafariViewController(url: URL(string: "<YOUR_URL_STRING>")!)

if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    svc.preferredControlTintColor = UIColor.red
} else {
    svc.view.tintColor = UIColor.red
}

self.present(svc, animated: true, completion: nil)

This doesn't work for me in iOS 10. Only affects the bottom toolbar's button. – Rivera Feb 20 '17 at 14:58

Adding this works:

UIButton.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.redColor()

@PetroKorienev What's not clear to you? The code that works is there. – user1452893 Nov 09 '15 at 14:23

It is not the solution, because your code works for EVERY button in the app, and it is not good solution. – Bartłomiej Semańczyk Jun 03 '16 at 07:52
@Bartłomiej Semańczyk That was my intent—every button. – user1452893 Aug 24 '16 at 17:26
