Change Tabbed View Bar Color SwiftUI

Question

Does anyone know how to change the background colour of a tabbed view bottom bar?

I have set the accent colour which changed the colour of my icons when I select each tab bar item.

I have tried setting the background to a colour but it doesn't change the back, and tried setting background to an image just to be sure but that also doesn't do anything.

Wondering if I need to specifically access the bottom bar somehow and then set a property on that?

Here is a solution. You can change appearance of the UITabBar and change the TabBar.

struct TabView: View {
    init() {
        UITabBar.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
    }
    var body: some View {

        return TabbedView {
            Text("This is tab 1").tag(0).tabItemLabel(Text("tab1"))
            Text("This is tab 2").tag(1).tabItemLabel(Text("tab2"))
            Text("This is tab 3").tag(2).tabItemLabel(Text("tab3"))
        }
    }
}
