if you are working with storyboards you have to put the identifier : "custom" in Navigation Controller.

then :

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Assign tab bar item with titles
    UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *)self.window.rootViewController;
    UITabBar *tabBar = tabBarController.tabBar;
    UITabBarItem *tabBarItem1 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];
    UITabBarItem *tabBarItem2 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1];
    UITabBarItem *tabBarItem3 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2];

    (void)[tabBarItem1 initWithTitle:nil image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home.png"] selectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home_selected.png"]];
    (void)[tabBarItem2 initWithTitle:nil image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home.png"] selectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home_selected.png"]];
    (void)[tabBarItem3 initWithTitle:nil image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home.png"] selectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home_selected.png"]];

    // Change the tab bar background
    UIImage* tabBarBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tabbar.png"];
    [[UITabBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:tabBarBackground];



    return YES;
}

This works for me.
