Completely transparent UITabBar in iOS 8

Question

I\'m trying to make my tabBar transparent, I\'ve searched but all I found was articles resulting in partly and not fully transparent tabBars and some were for IOS 5, etc.

Answer 1

Swift 3.0

... call this code in the AppDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

let tabBar = UITabBar.appearance()
tabBar.barTintColor = UIColor.clear
tabBar.backgroundImage = UIImage()
tabBar.shadowImage = UIImage()

The result will be a transparent background for every UITabBar.
