Code Challenge: Styling the NavBar Section 1

Using the UINavigationBar's appearance proxy, set the background color of the navigation bars to [UIColor redColor].

Heres my code:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // Customize the nav bar
    UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"navBarBackground"];
    [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
    return YES;
}
@end

setTintColor rather than setBackgroundColor should do it.

Nope, that gives the error: "Make sure you are calling the correct method"

It appears that the correct answer is using the method "setBarTinitColor:(UIColor)"

However, since either method does the same thing, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me

Sorry, was trying to do it from memory. I was partly right! Ha.
