Can't add tab bar to iPad app using storyboard - ios

I have an iPad app using a tableview/details configuration. I want to embed this in a tab bar controller. I am following several tutorials to add a tab bar controller in storyboard, but my results are not the same as in the tutorial:
I am not given the first tab bar item to edit; neither in the storyboard nor in the file tree.
My segue icon between the tab bar controller and the navigation controller is a slanted icon, not the horizontal segue icon I see in the tutorial.
The new tab bar does not appear at the bottom of my table view.
Please, what am I missing? (I wish I could post a screen shot, but alas I don't have the reputation!)
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Here's a video from YouTube that explains it. It's pretty straightforward.

Tab bar not visible on Tab Bar Controller on reverse Segue operation

So, I am still in a learning phase of iOS programming using Swift and got stuck in one issue.
I have a Tab bar controller with options in the tab bar at the bottom.
In one of the tab pages, I have table cells, on click of each, I move the user to a WebView (Embedded in a UIViewController).
On the webView I have placed a back button, which is linked to the main Tab Bar Controller through a segue.
I am able to come back to tab bar controller successfully, but after coming back the tab bar at the bottom does not show.
Also, how can I remove the "
I have attached the main.storyboard screenshot for reference.Main Storyboard flow
I got it working by using the Segue type as "Show Detail" instead of just "Show".

Can't select tab bar items, greyed out tab bar

My nav bar is completely greyed out. I've seen some solutions like this saying that you should simply add an image to the tab bar item. I can't even select a tab bar item...see screen below.
Any ideas? I'm running Xcode 7.2, using Swift with a BaaS (Parse). I've searched for hours/days and can't figure this one out...May sound like a dumb question, but every other example I search essentially shows a tab bar with items that you can select/edit within the interface builder. As I can't figure out how to select a tab bar item within the interface builder, I've essentially been stuck. Do I need to do this all programmatically (I know some people have preference here), or can it be done in interface builder?
I add them as has been mentioned (using a view controller relationship segue, images below), but after I add it, everything is still greyed out and I don't have any tab bar items. Any ideas?
control-click action, using relationship segue under view controller
everything is greyed out, no tab bar items available to edit or add images to
Ok, here we go. You have a Tab Bar created.
Drag a View Controller to your storyboard. Place it next to your Tab Bar.
Ctrl-click on the Tab Bar and drag it to the View Controller.
Select the option like the image below.
About this this you must see the item on your tab bar. Click on it and you'll be able to edit (choose an image, change the label...).
Hope that helps.

Navigation bar with page control on iOS

I'm new to iOS developing, I wanted to ask could someone help me how to make a page control(screen sliding) with navigation bar, I have tried a lot of things, I googled a lot but I couldn't find a solution.
I have a button when I click it will open a pagecontrol(rootview for screen sliding) with tableview which will change its data according to pages.
the problem is when I click that button I don't know how to get back to main page.
Can anyone help me?
This is a good tutorial for learning how to create a page controller.
As far as your other problem of getting back to the main page, if you add a bar button item to the root view controller's navigation bar, control-drag to your second view in your storyboard from that bar button item, a "Back" button will automatically appear in the upper left-hand corner of your second view controller.
Hope it helps!

iOS. Navigation controller toolbar - customize example

I'm newbie with Xcode, I'm learning it and trying to make my app.
Now I would like to put Navigation Bar func at the bottom of the screen with some customize.
I turn on "Shows Toolbar" at Navigation Controller and put my button there, but I cannot customize it.
Everything that I found about customizing Navigation Bar at the top of the screen or about customizing TabBar when people are talking about bottom of the screen.
Please, can you give me a code examples to build something like this at the bottom of the screen:

Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what you are trying to customize (button or bar) but when there is a bar at the bottom of the screen that is not a tab bar it is a tool bar not a navigation bar. The two are related but they each have their own class. Tool bars use UIToolBar not UINavigationBar. The tool bar is independent of the navigation controller and the two work together well. For any views that don't want a tool bar just set it to hidden in -viewDidAppear: (you will need to un hide it in views that use it).
dimimpou is right. You can accomplish this by using a UITabBarViewController and one UIBarButtonItem for "ADD ONE" and "MY STATS".
If you get lost in references(I sometimes get lost too), I may provide a simple example.
Note that if the interface provided by UIKit doesn't meet your need you can:
Use category over UITabBar or UITabBarItem.
If 1. doesn't work sadly you'll have create your own view controller which is simulate UITabBarViewController(requires some time, but it's worth)
Edit:
You can use a UINavigationController inside a UITabBarViewController.
You can easily do this. The way I understand it, you want this "Toolbar" to show from a button in the navigation bar. Just put a tab bar with what you need and make it show when the user presses the button on the navigation bar. on this buttons action put this code: self.tabBar.hidden = NO; and on the storyboard uncheck the bar visibility option. Hope it helps!

Navigation bar tutorial

First, sorry for my bad English. I'm really beginner at App development and I'm doing an app with three views.
The first and the second ones are switched by a Tab Bar (and that's all right so far).
The first it's gonna be the only one which leads to the third view (which will be only a image) through a Navigation Bar.
This nav bar in the first view will have one button to go to the third view, and in the third view the nav bar will have a button "back" (and here's the problem).
I'm putting a nav bar in the first view and I try to put a Nav item into it, but they don't let me! How can I do it ? I can't find a good Navigation Bar's tutorial whithout storyboard (I'm not using storyboards...).
Thank you.
