How to add custom TabBarItem to Tab Bar Controller

I am using the Storyboard in XCode to design my Views. Also im using the Tab Bar Controller in the editor, but i cannot seem to figure out how i can add a custom item which i can use for UIPopoverController.

Is it possible or do i have to create this controller programmatically and add it?

Solution

  • The apple documentation states that you shouldn't subclass UITabBarController, however, you could use a custom implementation like one of the ones found here:
