Can't customise barTintColor of SFSafariViewController

Product:iOS Product Version:9.0.0
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
While ‘tintColor’ is inherited from the presenting app when showing an SFSafariViewController, there is no way to set the `barTintColor` of either the top address bar or the bottom toolbar. This means that apps with a customised color scheme (for example, Facebook with its blue bar) will show an inconsistently themed view controller.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an SFSafariViewController instance.

Expected Results:
An exposed property for changing the barTintColor of both bars.

Actual Results:
Bars are always white.

Please

This is holding me back from using SFSafariViewController. Would love to see this get fixed. Thanks!

Can we get this fixed?

This issue is important. It ruins the style of the entire application. I really don't understand why this hasn't been addressed already.
