For ios 9.0+ use UIStackView in Horizontal direction and create a xib and named it CustomTabBarView

CustomTabBarView.Xib

Create Another View CustomTabBarItem.

CustomTabBarItem.xib

create CustomTabBarItem.swift file for implement functionality of TabItem

class CustomTabItem: UIView {

//MARK:- IBOutlets
@IBOutlet weak var itemImage: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var itemTitle: SelectableLabel!
@IBOutlet weak var topButton: UIButton!

//MARK:- Variables
var isSelected: Bool = false {
    didSet {
        self.itemImage.image = CommonFunctions.getTabItemImage(isSelected: isSelected, tag: topButton.tag)
        itemTitle.isSelected = isSelected
        if isSelected {
            self.backgroundColor = UIColor.appDarkBlueColor
        }
        else {
            self.backgroundColor = UIColor.appWhiteColor
        }
    }
}

//MARK:- IBActions
@IBAction func onClickButton(_ sender: Any) {

}

}

In TabBarViewController Implement This Code

func createCustomTabBarView(tabItemCount: Int){

    customTabBarView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("CustomTabBarView", owner: nil, options: nil)?.last as! UIView
    customTabBarView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.view.frame.height - self.tabBar.frame.height, width: self.tabBar.frame.width, height: self.tabBar.frame.size.height)
    self.view.addSubview(customTabBarView)

    var stackView = UIStackView()
    for subView in customTabBarView.subviews{
        if subView is UIStackView {
            stackView = subView as! UIStackView
        }
    }
