Changing background colour of navigationItem and barButtonItem in iOS 16.2

Question

I just need to change the background colour of navigationItem and barButtonItem in my app.

I have tried so many methods in stack overflow but none of them worked.
I have also tried in my storyboard by using UserDefinedRunTimeAttributes by giving key path as background colour but that also didn't work.

I need an background colour for this navigationItem and their you can see an save UIBarButtonItem, also I need on that a background colour and to be bended with some corner radius.

You've to create your custom view and add your modified button in the custom view and add the custom view in the UIBarButtonItem. That worked for me totally!

            let button = UIButton(type: .system)
            button.frame = customView.bounds
            button.setTitle("Logout", for: .normal)
            button.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
            button.backgroundColor = .blue
            button.layer.cornerRadius = 12
            // Add the UIButton to the custom view
            customView.addSubview(button)

            // Create a UIBarButtonItem with the custom view
            let barButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: customView)
            let logoutBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: customView)
            self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem  = logoutBarButtonItem
