Working solution for iOS 7.0+:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    [UIColor redColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
    nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    [UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
    nil] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
}
