Disabling UIButton not working

Question

The solutions i'm finding on here use .enabled which is old, rather than .isEnabled.

So i'm currenting trying to just disable the functionality/clickability of buttons if a certain condition is (or isn't) met. So before it all I disable them all if a condition isn't met then if there on after (dynamically) it is met then it should theoretically enable. That being said, it is not initially disabling the buttons when I start off with .isEnabled = false.

I know the condition is being met because I have print statements and other tests (like labels being removedfromsuperview yet .isEnabled = false for the buttons isn't working. Anyone encountered said problems or have any solutions?

Code below:

override func viewDidLoad()
{
    super.viewDidLoad()
    trumpMoneyDefault.setValue(50, forKey: "TrumpMoney")
    print("UnoViewController")
    //make all the buttons that shouldn't be clickable unlcickable
    locklvl2.isEnabled = false
    locklvl3.isEnabled = false
    trumplvl2.isEnabled = false
    trumplvl3.isEnabled = false
    lvl2.isEnabled = false
    lvl3.isEnabled = false

    //make level2/3 unclickable by defeault
    //lvl2.isEnabled = false
    //lvl3.isEnabled = false
    //update trumpmoney label depending on if they have enough cash
    //also here check if they have already unlocked all via purchase of unlock all. If so, then skip all this
    if trumpMoneyDefault.value(forKey: "TrumpMoney") != nil
    {
        trumpmoney.text = trumpMoneyDefault.value(forKey: "TrumpMoney") as? String

        //remove locks if they got the money by default.
        let tempTrumpMoneyDefault = trumpMoneyDefault.value(forKey: "TrumpMoney") as! Int
        if tempTrumpMoneyDefault >=  100
        {
            locklvl2.removeFromSuperview()
            moneylvl2.removeFromSuperview()
            trumplvl2.removeFromSuperview()
            lvl2.isEnabled = true
            if tempTrumpMoneyDefault >=  500
            {
                locklvl3.removeFromSuperview()
                moneylvl3.removeFromSuperview()
                trumplvl3.removeFromSuperview()
                lvl3.isEnabled = true
            }
        }
    }
}

Really? It should work.

1.)This is how I disable a button and it's working.

myButton.isEnabled = false;

2.)Desperate way to disable button by disabling the user interaction.

myButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = false;
