How to change hue color of tab bar in swift?

Question

I use the tab bar and I have 2 problems with color.

The 1st problem , the color is a shade of gray, I used the code to change it to white, but it turns to white only when the tab is clicked.

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

var window: UIWindow?

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    let barColor = UIColor(red: 49/255, green: 75/255, blue: 108/255, alpha: 1.0)
    let pressedTintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

    UITabBar.appearance().barTintColor = barColor
    UITabBar.appearance().tintColor = pressedTintColor

        return true
}

The second problem , the background color of the pressed tab should change, but it does not change.

This is what the tab bar looks like.

And this is how it should look.

(The 1st pic is in Xcode Simulator just like a test, the 2nd pic is its design, so this is not important for images and tab text)

Thus, it is assumed that all tabs will be white all the time, and when the tab is pressed to change only the background color of the tab.

AppDelegate, :

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    UITabBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()], forState: UIControlState.Normal)

    return true
}

ViewController - :

extension UIImage {
    func makeImageWithColorAndSize(color: UIColor, size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
        color.setFill()
        UIRectFill(CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height))
        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return image
    }
}

extension UIImage {
    func imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)

        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()! as CGContextRef
        CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height)
        CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
        CGContextSetBlendMode(context, CGBlendMode.Normal)

        let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height) as CGRect
        CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage)
        tintColor.setFill()
        CGContextFillRect(context, rect)

        let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() as UIImage
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return newImage
    }
}

class FirstViewController: UIViewController {

    var tabBar: UITabBar?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        tabBar = self.tabBarController!.tabBar
        tabBar!.selectionIndicatorImage = UIImage().makeImageWithColorAndSize(UIColor.blueColor(), size: CGSizeMake(tabBar!.frame.width/CGFloat(tabBar!.items!.count), tabBar!.frame.height))

        // To change tintColor for unselected tabs
        for item in tabBar!.items! as [UITabBarItem] {
            if let image = item.image {
                item.image = image.imageWithColor(UIColor.whiteColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
            }
        }
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
}
