objective c - UITextField IOS7 not setting font color during input -

i have simple code worked fine under ios6. in uitextfield when event editingdidbegin arrived executed simple piece of code changed color of text entered:

textfield.textcolor = [uicolor redcolor]; 

although code executed, text color not change red, remains unchanged @ default color text being entered.

if call method on editingdidend, text entered in default color, changes red when editingdidend kicks off same piece of code:

textfield.textcolor = [uicolor redcolor]; 

it seems though can not change textcolor property when textfield first responder.

any here appreciated.
