In my iOS app I want to display more than 8 items in my bottom bar like tab bar items.
For that I have used UICollectionView like tab bar at the bottom.
But one of my friends told me that Apple will reject the app if the bottom bar has more than 5 items. Is that true?
Or does that restriction only apply to UITabBar?
Please confirm. I am using UICollectionView instead of UITabBar.
It is true. The human interface guidelines say that for a bottom bar there should be around 3 to 5 items.
Yes you can make it, but for his purpose you need to make a custom tab bar, you can't use tab bar controller,
Place a UIView on top of a controller where you see view controller and exit etc. and place a view inside it and place Image view and buttons and set constraints.

I have a screen with a UITableView. I would like to add to it a search bar (that searches on the internet) and shows the found results in a sub screen. When an item on the sub screen is clicked, I'd like to add it to my table. Is there such a search bar in iOS? I added a paint in order to make things clearer.
UITableViewControllers have a restriction: its main view must be a UITableView that takes up the entire screen space (except for a possible navigation bar at the top, and a toolbar or tab bar at the bottom).
If you want to have other views such as a UISearchBar you must use a UIViewController and add a UITableView and a UISearchBar
I need to make this view:
A view on top of the tab bar with some data. (image, name, text, ...)
tab bar has a 3 page and every page has a separate view
When user scroll up, tabbar will be scrolling top of the page and a UILable stands top of tab bar. It can be show with some fading animation (not important right now)
this is after scrolling:
I search in cocopods but I didn't find solution.

I want to know how to put uitabbar inside a view. Is it possible ?
If yes, How to change just sub view of tab bar when I change tab bars!

Yes, but I wouldn't describe the thing you are showing in your screen shot as a "tab bar". It is a UISegmentedControl. So all you have to do is respond to the user tapping on a segment of the UISegmentedControl by substituting one view for another, and that's easy to do.
I'd like to create a tab bar that isn't really a tab bar. It would work like a tab bar in the way that it would send the user to other pages when clicking on it and it would always be present but the design would be different.
I would like it to be 3 buttons detached from the bottom of the screen unlike regular iOS tab bars and the button would be 3 circles with icons in it.
Is it possible to do such a thing in iOS, or does all apps really have to follow apple's standards?
Thanks a lot!
I want to know can we create 2 bars at top like in this screen shot. one top bar with multiple buttons and search bar and second one with the back button.
You can use the UINavigationBar from the UINavigationController and you can add on the view of your currently displayed UIViewController a UIToolBar right at the top of the view.
My buttons seem stretched, especially in landscape orientation. I can't find a property to adjust either on the UITabBar, UITabBarViewController, or on the UITabBarItem's themselves. (Of course, one answer would be to get an iPad...but that doesn't solve the need for a phone.)
For example, consider this simple Tab Bar Example - if I only could set the tab bar to auto-shrink as more buttons are added, or manually adjust the width to fit them all on the tab bar, I would be happy.
It is not possible to use the UITabbar with more than five visible buttons. You've got to write your own component.
