tintColorDidChange

tintColorDidChange is a method in the UIKit framework for iOS and other Apple operating systems. It is called on a UIResponder object, such as a UIView or its subclasses, whenever the tint color of the object or one of its ancestors changes. This method is primarily used to allow custom views to adapt their appearance based on the current tint color.

When the tint color is set on a view, or when it's inherited from a parent view, the system automatically calls tintColorDidChange. Developers can override this method in their custom UIResponder subclasses to perform actions that depend on the tint color. For example, a custom button might change the color of its internal icon or text when tintColorDidChange is invoked.

The tint color is a system-wide property that provides a default accent color for various UI elements. It can be set on a UIView using the tintColor property. When tintColorDidChange is called, it signals that this property has changed and any view that relies on it should update its rendering accordingly. This mechanism helps maintain visual consistency across an application by allowing elements to dynamically adapt to the user's or the application's chosen accent color. It is part of the view's lifecycle and is crucial for building adaptive and themable user interfaces.
