How to change tab bar item text color

The accepted answer's code not work for me.

Here is code, that works:

    [[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor yellowColor] }
                                             forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor] }
                                             forState:UIControlStateSelected];

I found the answer for my own question.

We can set perforamceItem setTitleTextAttributes: for two different states.

• forState:UIControlStateNormal
• forState:UIControlStateHighlighted

I added the following code

 [performanceItem setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaLTStd-Roman" size:10.0f], NSFontAttributeName,  [UIColor yellowColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[performanceItem setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaLTStd-Roman" size:10.0f], NSFontAttributeName,  [UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,nil] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

I need to replace the yellow color with the color of my ICONS. This is how they are looking now.
