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

Sometimes that easiest way is just to add a view that uses the UIScreen bounds.

let whiteView = UIView()
    whiteView.backgroundColor = .white
    view.addSubview(whiteView)
    whiteView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    whiteView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
    whiteView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true
    whiteView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true
    whiteView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: UIScreen.main.bounds.height).isActive = true

Cause sometimes the view edges extends beyond the nav bar giving you new problems if you extend the view layout.
