Setting UINavigationBar tint color in monotouch for iOS7

I just updated to latest Xamarin.iOS 4.10.0 and xCode5 for developing my app for iOS7. In iOS7 now the tint color of the UINavigationBar is not set with Tint color but with BarTintColor. so the following : 

NavigationBar.TintColor = UIColor.Red;

doesn't do anything for ios7 (in ios6 it does change the color the top bar).

How can I change the UINAvigationBar color using monotouch for iOS7? I even tried to change via the xCode5, but it seems to not work as well

looks like the answer is in the question: "but with BarTintColor" - Stephane Delcroix
From some reason when I got to my UINavigationController and write the following : NavigationBar.BarTintColor doesn't compile, it seems that it doesn't recognise this property. I'm using Xamarin.iOS 4.0.10 . Any ideas ? - user958880

From Apple doc:

iOS7: Use tintColor to tint bar button items. Use barTintColor to tint the bar background.

iOS6: Use tintColor to tint the bar background.

Which translate in monotouch to: TintColor and BarTintColor
