Question

I have built my app using new Xcode 9 beta for ios 11. I have found an issue with UITabBar where items are spread through the UITabBar and title is right aligned to the imag

Answer 1

In Addition to John's answer:

If you have more than 4 Tab Bar Items and don't want the "More" Button you have to take a different Size Class. And if you want the original centred layout of items you have to add another method like so:

#import "PreIOS11TabBarController.h"

@interface PreIOS11TabBarController ()

@end

@implementation PreIOS11TabBarController

// In iOS 11, UITabBarItem's have the title to the right of the icon in horizontally regular environments
// (i.e. the iPad).  In order to keep the title below the icon, it was necessary to subclass UITabBar and override
// traitCollection to make it horizontally compact.

- (UITraitCollection *)traitCollection {
    return [UITraitCollection traitCollectionWithHorizontalSizeClass:UIUserInterfaceSizeClassUnspecified];
}


- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];

    self.tabBar.itemPositioning = UITabBarItemPositioningCentered;
}

@end
