Hiding the tabbar and removing the space

Question

Is there a way to hide tabbar and remove that space left (around 50px) ?

I tried

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.hidden = true
self.extendedLayoutIncl         


        

Answer 1

Programmatically, add this to the next view controller for swift 4.

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = true
    edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.bottom
    extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
}

And add a background color
