setTitleColor not working without setTitle

Question

I want to change the tint color of a button.

  button.setTitle("✸", for: .normal)
  button.setTitleColor(.green, for: .normal)

This is working fine with the code above. However when I remove the first line (setTitle), it does not work anymore.

I have set a title for the button in the interfacebuilder/storyboard. I can't figure out what is the reason for that.

More research. Just one of these options work when the title is set via the interface builder. But when I change the title of the Button, option2 does not longer work.

    // option 1
    button.setTitle("✸", for: .normal)
    button.setTitleColor(.green, for: .normal)
    
    // option 2
    button.tintColor = .red

is the button type ```custom```? – udi Sep 29 '22 at 19:05 — udi, Sep 29 '22 at 19:05

I want to change the tint color of a button.

So why don't you set the tintColor?

button.tintColor = .red

...this works even if you set the title only in the interface builder.

tintColor is derived from the base class. When you change the title with setTitle, tintColor does not longer work – Vincent Sep 30 '22 at 07:09
