Getting the frame of a particular tab bar item

Question

Is there a way to find the frame of a particular UITabBarItem in a UITabBar?

Specifically, I want to create an animation of an image \"falling\

Answer 1

Swift + iOS 11

private func frameForTabAtIndex(index: Int) -> CGRect {
    guard let tabBarSubviews = tabBarController?.tabBar.subviews else {
        return CGRect.zero
    }
    var allItems = [UIView]()
    for tabBarItem in tabBarSubviews {
        if tabBarItem.isKind(of: NSClassFromString("UITabBarButton")!) {
            allItems.append(tabBarItem)
        }
    }
    let item = allItems[index]
    return item.superview!.convert(item.frame, to: view)
}
