Ribbit Styling the Navigation Bar Code Challenge 1

this was the question :

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

this was what i did:

  • (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

// Customize the nav bar

UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"navBarBackground"];

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

return YES;

}

i couldn't get the correct answer. What was wrong?

This problem was solved by checking back to the apple documents, the correct property to call is :

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
