The reason you're getting the 'customTabBar.Type' error is because you're returning the name of your class which, against normal convention, is camel cased. You want to be returning an object - an instance of your class - instead.

import UIKit

@objc class customTabBarController: UITabBarController {
    let myCustomTabBar = customTabBar() // If we're writing conventional swift,
                                        // this should be CustomTabBar()
    
    override var tabBar: UITabBar {
        // Because your class name is customTabBar instead of CustomTabBar,
        // this is returning a TYPE instead of an OBJECT
        // return customTabBar

        // If you wanted to return a new version of a tab bar on every
        // get of this object, you'd use the following code which is similar to yours:
        // return customTabBar()

        // More likely, you want to return the SAME tabBar throughout this object's
        // lifecycle.
        return myCustomTabBar
    }
}
