Answer 1

If you're trying to remove the shadowImage then just do the same thing you're doing, but assign it to shadowImage instead of backgroundImage.

Answer 2

It looks likes you're setting an image to a tab bar item (with default frame) when the image is larger than the button's frame. You need to replace the entire button!
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"image"];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
[button setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
[tabBar setItems:#[ barButton, /* etc */ ]];

Answer 3

Try this,
//Remove shadow image by assigning nil value.
[[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage: nil];
// or
// Assing UIImage instance without image reference
[[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage: [[UIImage alloc] init]];
Here is apple guideline for shadow image.
Default is nil. When non-nil, a custom shadow image to show instead of
the default shadow image. For a custom shadow to be shown, a custom
background image must also be set with -setBackgroundImage: (if the
default background image is used, the default shadow image will be
used).
