yes, @borrrden is correct, setting tintColor for UIBarButtonItem is available only after iOS 5.0. Check the condition before you set color to your navigationItem

#if __IPHONE_5_0 <= __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
      self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
#endif

you can found solution in this [link](http://fredandrandall.com/blog/2011/03/31/how-to-change-the-color-of-a-uibarbuttonitem/) or you have to create manual `UIButton` and can assign to your `UIBarButtonItem` like [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/664930/uibarbuttonitem-with-color) and you can assign that `UIBarButton` to your `rightBarButton` – arthankamal Dec 13 '12 at 10:14

You should stop using appearance and UIBarButtonItem's tintColor because they are not supported on iOS 4.x
