Positioning UITabBar at the top

Question

I\'m a beginner in iOS development. My question is: is it possible to position UITabBar at the top and how? I can\'t position my UITabBar at the top of the view.

Answer 1

Here is a working swift 3 example of aviatorken89's code.

1. First create a new file.
2. Select source cocoa touch class.
3. Designate subclass of: UITabBarController
4. Name the class "CustomTabBarController" or whatever you'd like.

5. Add the following code to the class.

   override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
       super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()
       var tabFrame:CGRect = self.tabBar.frame
       tabFrame.origin.y = self.view.frame.origin.y
       self.tabBar.frame = tabFrame
   }
   

6. If you are using storyboard make sure to change the tab bar class to your custom class via the "Identity inspector".
