UIButton border disappears

I'm designing a new button for an app, I'd like to avoid coding as I have to use the same button style through the app. I added some attributes and it works fine, but when I add a border color (doesn't matter which color) for no reason the border disappears. What is going on? enter image description here

You can not set some properties of a view's layer through interface builder. You can set a layer's borderWidth and cornerRadius via Interface Builder tool of Xcode, but you will not be able to set borderColor using Interface Builder and it's probably because the layer.borderColor wants a CGColor instead of a UIColor. And unfortunately, there's no way to assign a CGColorRef type in Interface Builder.

You can programmatically set the button's border color on its layer as-

[[button layer] setBorderColor:[UIColor redColor].CGColor];

layer.borderColor requires a CGColorRef but the color set using the Interface Builder is of UIColor type. That is the reason borderColor is not showing on your button.

You'll have to set it programmatically.
