UItabbar settitlecolor,iPhone

I am trying to change the color of the text of tabbar item,programmatically. I am using

[[UITabBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                                       [UIFont fontWithName:@"AmericanTypewriter" size:20.0f], UITextAttributeFont,
                                                       [UIColor blackColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
                                                       [UIColor grayColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
                                                       [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0f, 1.0f)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
                                                       nil]];

Which should works on iOS5 and above. But my apps gets crashed with error at console :

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[_UIAppearance setTitleTextAttributes:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x79f5790'
*** First throw call stack:

Not sure, why i am getting a crash. Also please suggest, if there is any other way to change the font color of the tabbar items.

Thanks

Neither of these answers are correct (at least for iOS 6).

You're missing forState: at the end of the call. Example

[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                                       [UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
                                                       [UIColor grayColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
                                                       [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0f, 1.0f)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
                                                       nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

The title in not part of the UITabBar but UITabBarItem thus replace UITabBar : 

[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
