Iphone: Is it possible to hide the TabBar? (Pre-iOS 8)

Question

I have an application that uses a UITabBarController to switch between modes. When in a certain mode, I\'d like to hide the tab bar until the steps of that mode

Answer 1

put the statement in the init method of the UIViewController

override init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String?, bundle nibBundleOrNil: Bundle?) {
        super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
        self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true
        setupDependencyConfigurator()
    }
