Is it possible to adjust the title of a UIBarButtonItem inside an UIToolbar?

I've tried the following lines of code without success:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffset(horizontal: 30, vertical: 30), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Default)

And this one:

self.setTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffset(horizontal: 30, vertical: 30), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Compact)

Offset an UIBarButtonItem (Text!) inside a UIToolBar vertically seems not to work with Xcode 7 (Beta 6).

You are right, according to the docs, this should do it: UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitlePositionAdjustment

either globally in AppDelegate:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffset(horizontal: 30, vertical: 30), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Default)

or locally with the item outlet itself:

(Swift)

self.myBarItem.setTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffset(horizontal: 30, vertical: 30), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Default)

(Obj C)

[self.myBarItem setTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(30, 30) forBarMetrics: UIBarMetricsDefault];

Is this a bug with Appearance?
