I'm creating a test that has 5 buttons, each one corresponds to a specific color, the problem is that when I select a consecutive 2nd button, the previous button is still selected, how can I make my code select only one button at a time and deselect the previous one?

Please show code. Is it SwiftUI or UIKit. You have set the 2 tags, which should not be the case.

let's consider you have named your buttons as follows: 1st button: "opt1Button", 2nd button: "opt2Button", 3rd button: "opt3Button" and so on...

create an IBAction with name "optionSelected" The function will look like:

@IBAction func optionSelected(_ sender: UIButton) {

        opt1Button.isSelected = false
        opt2Button.isSelected = false
        opt3Button.isSelected = false
        opt4Button.isSelected = false
        opt5Button.isSelected = false
        
        sender.isSelected = true
    }

As soon any of the options is selected all the buttons will go to 'isSelected' false condition i.e all the buttons will be deselected at first and the selected button will be marked as selected. Same process will be followed again when any of the button is selected, everything will get deselected and the button user has pressed will be marked as selected.
