changing the height of UITabBar in iOS7/8?

Question

I am trying to change the height of the stock UITabBar to 44px, similar to Tweetbot\'s tab bar height. I\'ve also seen a few other apps do this as well.

Answer 1

For Swift 3 and xcode 8

extension UITabBar {
     override open func sizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
     var sizeThatFits = super.sizeThatFits(size)
     sizeThatFits.height = 80 // adjust your size here
     return sizeThatFits
    }
 }
