Answer 1

UPDATE:

Use this method...

-(UIImage *)imageNamed:(NSString *)name withColor:(UIColor *)color {
    // load the image
    
    UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:name];
    
    // begin a new image context, to draw our colored image onto
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(img.size);
    
    // get a reference to that context we created
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    
    // set the fill color
    [color setFill];
    
    // translate/flip the graphics context (for transforming from CG* coords to UI* coords
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, img.size.height);
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
    
    // set the blend mode to color burn, and the original image
    CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeColorBurn);
    CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height);
    CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, img.CGImage);
    
    // set a mask that matches the shape of the image, then draw (color burn) a colored rectangle
    CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, img.CGImage);
    CGContextAddRect(context, rect);
    CGContextDrawPath(context,kCGPathFill);
    
    // generate a new UIImage from the graphics context we drew onto
    UIImage *coloredImg = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    
    //return the color-burned image
    return coloredImg;
}

Use it like below...

yourImageView.image = [self imageNamed:@"yourImageName" withColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

Here is the Swift version:

extension UIImage {

    func colorizeWith(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.size)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        color.setFill()
        CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height)
        CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0)

        // set the blend mode to color burn, and the original image
        CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeNormal);
        let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height);
        CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, self.CGImage);

        // set a mask that matches the shape of the image, then draw (color burn) a colored rectangle
        CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage);
        CGContextAddRect(context, rect);
        CGContextDrawPath(context,kCGPathFill);

        // generate a new UIImage from the graphics context we drew onto
        let coloredImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

        //return the color-burned image
        return coloredImage;
    }

}

You can try Ankish Jain's answer, it works for me.

theImageView.image = [theImageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[theImageView setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
