Looking through the components, there isn't a top navigation in horizontal format. I supposed it could be built from the components offered but I'm looking for best practice. Is there a sample or doc from Fluid UI that discusses this common scenario?
I think the horizontal stack is the component/style that would work.

I'm trying to create something similar to the following:
You see the dates at the top just underneath the search bar? Is that a nested tab view as I'm guessing? Is there a way to do it with the default components or do I need to create a custom view?
I'm not looking for a coding answer per se. I just want to know if there's a standard way of achieving this before trying to implement my own solution.
EDIT:
For future reference I found a library that does exactly this.
Apple's documentation states :
The tab bar interface displays tabs at the bottom of the window for selecting between the different modes and for displaying the views for that mode. This class is generally used as-is, but may also be subclassed.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitabbarcontroller
So I would guess that it is a custom solution.
I know how to use tabBarController.
But I dont Know How to Create A Tabbed Page Like The Attached Image.
Whats The Name Of This Type Of Tab?
This is not any type of Tab. You can use a collectionView or a stackView for "Tabs" and a UIPageViewController for changing viewControllers.
You can check CocoaControls for similar controls, download source code and check their construction. You can possible do it with SegmentedControls (Or Custom UIViews for single Tab and draw in ScrollView) and UIScrollView as Content View (with Pagination On) as well, but it depends how much customisation is needed.
Trust me, it's REALLY tricky to obtain what you want with the iOS components. There are a lot of details that you will miss.
When I tried myself to build the same thing, it was like "ok I think I am reinventing the wheel, is not straight forward as I though, it require a lot of work"
You know you have to consider a lot of stuff like an User that start to scroll as a crazy between the pages and then tap on one tab bar button, and so on. Trust me, it's easy to have a working implementation, but it's really really difficult to obtain a PERFECT implementation
I decided to go for a library
https://github.com/aokizen/SPSlideTabBarController
https://github.com/xmartlabs/XLPagerTabStrip
but there are others that are all good to achieve what you want
Anyway if you want to go for your personal implementation I suggest a Segmented Control in the upper side and a PageViewController (maybe inside a Container View)
Today I tried to implement a vertical tabbar for iPad. I checked a lot of questions on Stackoverflow and other sites but couldn't find the appropriate answer. Here are what I found:

In my opinion, the third component is great. However, I guess I'll have to customize a lot before I can use to create this following UI:
So do you know any components/libraries that match my UI? It would be great if anyone can suggest me a correct one. Thanks.
Try to use FSVerticalTabBarController. I have used it and it is easy to modify...
You can try this component IIViewDeckController. Its very light weight.
Usually it will be used for Stackview, left Menu kind of UI.
But you can do a small trick like below to achieve your design above.
Steps:
The component have left, right, top, bottom and center stack of controllers.
Use a UITableView on your LeftViewController to design your above UI.
Each index will act as a container of OneViewController.
Clicking one cell of your tableview will place the appropriate ViewController in the center controller of IIViewDeckViewController.
Its very easy, I guess you will like it. Just take some time to go through their examples.
Hope it will be useful
I translated futuresimple/FSVerticalTabBarController into Swift 5.
My repo is https://github.com/coyingcat/VerticalTabBar
Apple's doc Implementing a Container View Controller is great also
I wanna put "tabs" at the top of the view and I don't find in object library... does anyone knows? Thanks for the help.

There's a difference between navigational tabs like the second screen shot has and just a "tabbed" division of information like the first. The first one stays a single screen while the second one could also be considered an application that has different subviews under that tabbed navigation. The first screen is trivial and you should do this with UIViews with UILabels nested into them.
The second screen is more interesting. I don't think it's a good idea to use the built in tabbed navigation handlers because it's just not a good fit for that kind of layout. You could do it but you're writing a lot of code to get it completely like you want it. But if you would want to you could divide the screen with custom containers and trigger segues in the bottom part from the UIButtons you put on top and it's a pretty good way to handle those kind of segues from within Interface Builder.

In my two recent questions here and here I laid out my problem a bit, but I want to ask a more general question here. First my goal: I am trying to animate views side to side with a fixed background image.
I am new to iOS, and so I don't know all the tools that are available to me, but each time I started hacking this together I kept thinking that there must be a built-in way to do this. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, so what is the common way to implement this?
The best approach I think is making a UIView based in two main views:
The background, that always will stay
And on top of it, another UIView with your animated view
In case you want to animate it, its quite easy, just check this:
