Cannot set prompt color in iOS11

I am trying to set the navbar prompt color in iOS11 to the same color as the navbar title color.

This works just great in iOS10:

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor]}];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTranslucent:NO];

enter image description here

However this is no longer working in iOS11. The title is white but the prompt is not.

I found a thread mentioning a hack to try and get the prompt label to change via:

[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:@[[UINavigationBar class]]].textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

However that is not working either.

Anyone else experiencing this?
