How to change UITabBar Selection color

Question

I need to change the selection color of UITabBar from default blue to red. How do we do this.

Answer 1

In iOS 7 it's simply the tintColor. One way to accomplish this could be to subclass UITabBarViewController, set the custom class in the storyboard, and in your viewDidLoad method of the subclassed tabBarVC add this:

[[self tabBar] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
