iOS UITabBar : Remove top shadow gradient line

Question

I implemented a custom UITabBar and I still have this gradient/shadow on top of it. I added

[self.tabBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"navBarBottom.png"]];

which is just changing the background but keeping the shadow gradient.

What am I doing wrong ? Is there anything to specify to get rid of it ?

Try setting a 1x1 pixel transparent shadow image for the UITabBar:

[[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"transparentShadow.png"]];
