How to Set the Navigation Bar Colour in an iOS 8 Launch Screen File?

Question

I'm using a storyboard for my Launch Screen File. It's a very basic setup:

I want to set an opaque colour for the navigation bar...

I can do something like the following in the AppDelegate:

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

But that doesn't apply to the launch screen file.

How do I set the nav bar colour / barTintColor in Interface Builder?

Answer 1

Bar tint is settable for a navigation bar in the Inspector as shown here.

Just checked it with a HOT PINK nav bar in my current project's LaunchScreen.xib and it works fine.
