Changing tab bar font in Swift

Question

I have been trying to change the font for the tab bar items however I haven\'t been able to find any Swift examples. I know that this is how you change it in Objective-C:

Answer 1

Swift 4.2

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(name: "FontName", size: 10)!], for: .normal)
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(name: "FontName", size: 10)!], for: .selected)

Swift 4

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont(name: "FontName", size: 10)!], for: .normal)
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont(name: "FontName", size: 10)!], for: .selected)

Swift 3

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "Font-Name", size: 10)!], for: .normal)
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "Font-Name", size: 10)!], for: .selected)

Note: Use setTitleTextAttributes for both .normal and .selected to have changes persist selection state changes.
