Custom On/Off Image iOS 7.0 UI Switch

Question

In iOS 7 switches don't allow custom on/off images by default. While I can still set them in the Interface Builder it doesn't show up.

The transition guide merely notes that it isn't on by default anymore. Presumably there is a way to change that so I do use the images I have.

I have same problem. Very strange that Apple decided to remove this functionality. — Ramis, Oct 17 '13 at 10:48
strange is that it is removed but form in IB contains fields to fill:) — Lukasz 'Severiaan' Grela, Apr 23 '14 at 12:49

Can you use a UIButton instead, using the "selected" state to mean "on"?

This is what ended up happening to an extent. It meant rebaking some art, but it gets the job done. – Wuzseen Oct 25 '13 at 14:49
Have the same problem. Before coming to this answer I used this approach, but it not as elegant as it would be with a switch element. – Patrick Bassut Apr 22 '14 at 23:50

Apple never let this feature go live... I believe you can file a bug report about it if you want to see it in the future...

I've got around this issue by using a drop in replacement called SevenSwitch.

Download these two files:

SevenSwitch.h 
SevenSwitch.m

Include them to your project, it is very easy for customizing.
