How to hide tab bar with animation in iOS?

Question

So I have a button that is connected to a IBAction. When I press the button I want to hide the tab bar in my iOS app with a animation. This [self setTabBarHidden:hidde

Answer 1

As per Apple docs, hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property of UIViewController, a Boolean value, indicating whether the toolbar at the bottom of the screen is hidden when the view controller is pushed on to a navigation controller.

The value of this property on the topmost view controller determines whether the toolbar is visible.

The recommended approach to hide tab bar would as follows

    ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] init];
    viewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;  // This property needs to be set before pushing viewController to the navigationController's stack. 
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];

However, note this approach will only be applied to respective viewController and will not be propagated to other view controllers unless you start setting the same hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property in other viewControllers before pushing it to the navigation controller's stack.
