This answer is a slight modification to Ariel answer which adds animation while user scrolls.

extension ViewController:UIScrollViewDelegate{
    func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        if scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.translation(in: scrollView).y < 0{
            //scrolling down
            changeTabBar(hidden: true, animated: true)
        }
        else{
            //scrolling up
            changeTabBar(hidden: false, animated: true)
        }
    }

    func changeTabBar(hidden:Bool, animated: Bool){
        let tabBar = self.tabBarController?.tabBar
        let offset = (hidden ? UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height : UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height - (tabBar?.frame.size.height)! )
        if offset == tabBar?.frame.origin.y {return}
        print("changing origin y position")
        let duration:TimeInterval = (animated ? 0.5 : 0.0)
        UIView.animate(withDuration: duration,
                       animations: {tabBar!.frame.origin.y = offset},
                       completion:nil)
    }
}
