UIColor patternImage not working in iOS 7

I'm currently trying to make my Swift app compatible with iOS 7. For some reason, I cannot set the Tabbar background as I did it on iOS 8. This is my code:

tabBar.barTintColor = UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named: "green.png")!)

What am I doing wrong?

Solution 
  • self.tabBarController?.tabBar.translucent = false;

    from the documentation:
    Discussion This color is made translucent by default unless you set the translucent property to NO.
