How can I use UIBarButtonSystemItem icons for UITabBar ButtonItem?

Question

It looks like the systemItem property doesn't exist on the viewController.tabBarItem is there a way to set UIBarButtonSystemItem as an image for a UITabBarItem programmatically?

Thanks

You can't use UIBarButtonSystemItem icons with a UITabBarItem. Instead, use UITabBarSystemItem icons.

let barItem = UITabBarItem(tabBarSystemItem: .bookmarks, tag: 1) // or whatever item you want
