Xcode Tab Bar Text Glitch - ios

Recently, I have been trying to add a tab bar to an existing project. However, no matter what I do, the text is being cut off. I am simply trying to drag a Tab Bar Controller into the storyboard and setting it as the initial controller.
This seems to only be an issue in this project, as doing the exact same thing in a test project works fine.

I am running Xcode v10.3, and the project is already on the App Store. There is no code attached to the VCs, and as far as I am aware, this should not happen.
What are some possible causes or fixes for this?

Turns out a cocoapod, AMXFontAutoScale, was to blame. I guess it scales the text of tab bars also.

How to solve Google Maps sdk orientation issues using TabViewController

I started an iOS project for iPhone where I thought might want a tab bar. I later decided that I don't want it (I want the extra screen space) and I so I tried to delete the tab bar and set my main ViewController as the initial viewController in storyboard.
This caused a weird error where the device's orientation no longer adjusts properly. For instance, switching from portrait orientation, shown in the picture:
becomes this in landscape:
If you start the app in landscape, it will look fine, but there will be a similar result when you switch to portrait. The bug manifests in the transition between screen orientations.
I've tried the following:
I restored the tab bar and the problem went away. This problem is caused by how I am removing the tab bar and not some other issue.
I searched for other articles dealing with this issue. So far, I've only seen documentation on how to install a tab bar, not how to safely remove it.
I attempted to connect the tab bar to the viewController with an IBOutlet and then set tabBar.isHidden = true. It's a bad hack, but it didn't work anyway. UITabBar has no such member.
I've tried comparing the settings between the tabBar viewController with my desired initial viewController in the Inspector, to see what may be different. Aside from the initial viewController check-box, I don't see a setting that might be causing this.
QUESTION: Is this a settings issue in storyboard (or elsewhere), or is this just a bug? My next attempt at a solution will be to delete the entire storyboard, and then recreate it and connect it back to the viewController. That's a fair amount of work I'd like to avoid if it's unnecessary.
Any help is appreciated. If I find a solution, I'll make sure to post it. Thanks!
UPDATE: I've found a workaround by going to the UI Tab Bar Controller in the Storyboard, selecting tab bar in Tab Bar Controller Scene -> Tab Bar Controller, and then checking the 'hidden' box in the inspector. This has the desired effect of getting rid of the tab bar when the app is running. It's like it's not there.
While this allows me to proceed with the app, the tab bar stuff is unnecessary code lying around in my app that I would like to get rid of.
Since I originally made this post, I've found out through experimentation that the every time I added Google's GMSMapView to a viewController, programmatically or in storyboard, I was having the above orientation issues. My original problem wasn't what I thought it was
I have since tried completely rebuilding the storyboard, viewController and all, but the problem didn't go away. I also tried overloading the orientation methods for the view to no effect.
However, if you are having this orientation problem with Google Maps sdk, imbedding the view controller that contains your GMSMapView in a tab view controller, and then hiding the tab bar (unless you want a tab bar) fixes the orientation issue in my project. It's not pretty, but it works.

No tab bar in one child view since Xcode 9.2 update

Since I updated to Xcode 9.2, the tab bar isn't displayed anymore in one of my child views and I'm struggling to get it back.
I did everything using the storyboard.
Here is a screenshot of it:
As you can see, the same segue is used in both views but the result is not the same...
I ended up using a small workaround. Maybe it is the right way to do it and my first implementation was wrong.
So instead of embedding the tab bar controller in a nav bar controller I ended up putting each tab in a nav bar controller.
Like this:

And now everything is working correctly.

Navigation icon is not showing in ios11 with xcode9?

I have installed my existing application in ios11 using xcode8 the navigation bar icons are displaying as expected when app is run using xcode9 the navigation bar icons are not showing but click actions are working fine. any icons in Navigation bar are missing while navigating from one controller to another controller.
If the navigation icons are not showing, but the interaction is still exists and works properly, it seems, that the problem is with image of the BarButtonItem. You can do next:
1) Try to set a system icon for BarButtonItem
2) Look at assets and fill all three resolutions (1, #2x, #3x)
3) Check the color of BarButtonItem
4) Check View Hierarchy
This issue happened to me and it was related to the ViewController segue properties. The segue kind was set to "Show Detail(e.g. Replace)" and changing it to Show(e.g. Push) did the trick. This is very weird because it used to work well on previous versions of Xcode but not on Xcode 9.3
Hope that helps!

In Xcode 6.1 I have two navigation buttons. But they are not visible on the Storyboard anymore. How do I get them back?

So I have been working on an app for a bit now. Very New to iOS Development and have started straight in with Swift. I have several view controllers with navigation buttons. The buttons were placed by me on the storyboards but have have since disappears from the storyboards. Although when I run the app they are still appearing in the application and still function as coded.
I can see them in the side panel but I can't see them on the story boards. I have included some screen shots..
Can any explain why they are not on my storyboard any more and how I can get them back..

Change your top bar simulated metric to Inferred

navigation & tab bars black for a split second right after launch

When launching or bringing my app from the background the navigation bar & tab bar are black for a split second before assuming storyboard defaults.
I feel there is somewhere a property enforcing this but I can't seem to find it.
Found something in the project properties info tab under "Custom iOS Target Properties"
where NavigationBar.Style = Default and NavigationBar.Translucent = NO which seem fine and don't affect the result.
It started happening around the iOS8 upgrade but can't time it very precisely.
Anyone has a clue on what might be causing this? Or where we set
Your view controllers of tab bar should be subclassed with UIViewController not UITabBarViewController. Please check your header file
