Image asset catalog color not changing

Question

I added one image set and set its Render As -> Template Image.

Added one button to storyboard and changed its tint color. It works perfectly when I check in the simulator.

Issue - 1) But color don't get updated in the storyboard.

I have added one image view and changed its tint color from the storyboard.

Issue - 2) But color don't get updated in the storyboard nor the color change appears in the simulator.

I have added one image view programmatically and set its image and tint color that works perfectly in the simulator.

What might be the above issues any idea?

Answer 1

Issue 1) That seems issue with Xcode, next releases may come up with fix.

Issue 2) That seems issue with Xcode too.. When I faced that situation I had to add ImageView programmatically which worked. You may also try IBDesignable or Custom class or Extension which changes renderMode property.

Answer 2

Issue - 1) But color don't get updated in the storyboard.
have look this one : ios 7.1 UITextField tint color doesn't change in storyboard

Issue - 2) But color don't get updated in the storyboard nor the color change appears in the simulator.

this issue arise for the template rendering mode with a UIImageView in a storyboard or xib, on iOS 7 , iOS 8 , iOS9 and iOS10 cause it is still buggy.

more information check this thread Modify UIImage renderingMode from storyboard/xib file

I think so programmatically is good solution.

Answer 3

Was it suppose to reflect Template Image color on StoryBoard by changing Tint ?

I checked on Xcode 8.2.1 , Xcode 8.1 , Xcode 8.0 and Xcode 7.3.1

None of them reflected the color on StoryBoard. Its works fine on Simulator and iPhone though.

I don't think this functionality was ever there. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Answer 4

The only way I've been able to get it to work is by creating an outlet of the UIImageView and calling this in viewDidLoad (or in VC):

imageView.tintColorDidChange()

This has been a bug since iOS 7 or 8 I believe.

Answer 5

我认为这个问题在 Xcode 11 中得到了解决。我在 iOS 13、12 和 11 上进行了测试，现在它在故事板、模拟器和设备中运行良好在故事板和 Xib 中。

Answer 6

Try

Clear the derived data

Clean Project

or

Use custom button

Answer 7

请获取该图像视图的 iboutlet 并以编程方式更改色调颜色。

Answer 8

Try refreshing all views, maybe it helps:

Answer 9

Simply, from Xcode, go to assets > then select your image > then from Inspectors menu (on the right): change the value of Render as to Template image

Then go to your storyboard > then change Tint color as you wish, and voila!
