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

You can create a custom tab bar by making it yourself, but apple highly discourages mimicking a system control for a function it was not originally intended to do.

Once again, I discourage you to do so, because it violates the consistency of your app and system apps. But since I'm at it, here we go:

For a custom tab bar, you need to create a view that holds multiple buttons. You also need a container view below the UITabBar (because you want the UITabBar to be at the top). When a button is pressed, you change the UIViewController inside the container.
Its quite simple, but of course, its strongly not recommended.
