How to change SFSafariViewController ToolBar color

Question

Expected Output: I want to change the ToolBar color to Dark Black.

Actual Output: ToolBar is light Grey color.

Here is the code:

let webViewController = SFSafariViewController(URL: url, entersReaderIfAvailable: true)
self.navigationController?.toolbar.barTintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
self.navigationController?.toolbar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
self.navigationController?.toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.Black
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(webViewController, animated: true)

Answer 1

Updated Answer for iOS 10 API

SFSafariViewController now has preferredBarTintColor and preferredControlTintColor properties to control how the toolbars look.

Original Answer

SFSafariViewController renders off-process. You can only change the tint color, but not bar style or bar tint color.

To set the tint color, set the Safari controller's view's tint color like so:

let sfController = SFSafariViewController(URL: url, entersReaderIfAvailable: true)
sfController.view.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
navigationController?.showViewController(sfController, sender: self)

Answer 2

There are two ways:

let resetPasswordSafari = SFSafariViewController(url: url, entersReaderIfAvailable: true)
resetPasswordSafari.preferredBarTintColor = .mainColor
resetPasswordSafari.preferredControlTintColor = .black

And:

class ResetPasswordSafariViewController: SFSafariViewController {

  override init(url URL: URL, entersReaderIfAvailable: Bool) {
    super.init(url: URL, entersReaderIfAvailable: entersReaderIfAvailable)
    delegate = self

    preferredBarTintColor = .blue
    preferredControlTintColor = .black
  }
}

// MARK: - SFSafariViewControllerDelegate

extension ResetPasswordSafariViewController: SFSafariViewControllerDelegate {
  internal func safariViewControllerDidFinish(_ controller: SFSafariViewController) {
    controller.dismiss(animated: true)
  }
}

Good luck all!

Answer 3

I see no way to change background color of ToolBar, but it is possible to change color of buttons in ToolBar.

[UIBarButtonItem appearance].tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

All other changes in appearance, or directly in controller properties, have no effect, as I see.

//To make changes in SFSafariViewController

     if let url = URL(string:"https://sandydhumale.business.site") {
        let config = SFSafariViewController.Configuration()
        config.entersReaderIfAvailable = true
        config.barCollapsingEnabled = true
        let vc = SFSafariViewController(url: url, configuration: config)
        vc.dismissButtonStyle = .close
        vc.preferredBarTintColor = .green // Your choice color
        vc.preferredControlTintColor = .white // All buttons/items color
        self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
