You are new to iOS development? Do things right from the get go:

  1. Use Interface Builder
  2. Use Storyboard
  3. Take advantage of technology that is available to you, do not program on your hands and knees.

You will want your button in your storyboard first. Then, in your ViewController file, ensure that you have an IBOutlet for your button.

in your .h file under interface

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *myButton;

in your .m file under implementation

@synthesize myButton;

Once you have this defined as a property, you can set the colour of your button in your viewDidLoad or viewDidAppear like so:

myButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed: 0.906 green: 0.298 blue: 0.235 alpha: 1];

or

[myButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed: 0.906 green: 0.298 blue: 0.235 alpha: 1]];

Once you're done this, make sure to connect the outlet in your storyboard: information on that is available in the Apple Documentation.

For rounding the corner of the button, just do the following:

myButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5;

btn.backgroundColor =  [UIColor colorWithRed: 0.906 green: 0.298 blue: 0.235 alpha: 1];
[btn setTitle:@"Test" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.view addSubview:btn];
