UIBarButtonItem image stays blue and not the original color of the image?

Question

How come the icon info.png stays blue and don't comes with the original color of that image? I am using the following code below:

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"info.png"]
                                                                             style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                                            target:self
                                                                            action:@selector(info:)];

By default, image in UINavigationBar's bar button items is rendered using template mode. You can set it to original.

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"info.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]
                                                                         style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                                        target:self
                                                                        action:@selector(info:)];

Swift 3:

let image : UIImage? = UIImage.init(named: "heart.png")!.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)

Answer 3

I know this is too late to answer this question but I see there is a very simple way to solve this issue instead of doing some changes in the code

using Xcode Go to the Assets --Select Image --- check Render as and select Original image instead of default property .
