Styling iOS Apps

Apple’s HIG on color for iOS apps.

New in iOS 13: Semantic Colors

UIAppearance

For multiple themes in an app, I like using a ThemeRepository paradigm. When I only care for a single theme, then that’s overkill, and I’ll use UIAppearance as much as I can.

Styling UINavigationBar

UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = navColor
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: textColor]
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = navButtonColor

Styling the Status Bar

Note: This is deprecated as of iOS 9.

UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent
