I would like to add a default screen on a Tab Bar controller, so always load default. Currently I have had to add a Home tab which is loaded by default as the first, but it breaks my design aesthetics.
How I can upload a picture or a viewcontroller Tab Bar Controller, if you default you can not associate any kind. M par implement code?.

I have a tabbar controller which includes six tab bar item. But the problem lies in the more button appears and the whole view get distract due to it. So how do i set all the six controller in the tab bar controller. I dont want to use any customized class.
If i creating a view manually in xib file. Then the tabbar is allowed having six item. Please see the attached images
In above image you can see a favourite tab bar controller which is created manually in xib, so if that is valid. Then how can i create like six tabbaritem in the uitabbarcontroller defined in app delegate. Please reply me back and dont give suggestion for using external classes or customize class.
Five is the most it will display. The standard icons won't fit otherwise. From the documentation:
The tab bar has limited space for displaying your custom items. If you add six or more custom view controllers to a tab bar controller, the tab bar controller displays only the first four items plus the standard More item on the tab bar. Tapping the More item brings up a standard interface for selecting the remaining items.
More than five will show in interface builder because it has no other way of showing you which items are linked to the controller.
So, at risk of a downvote, you'll have to use a custom container that can show more than five options.
I'm doing iPhone tabbed application, but I need to use navigation bar also (just for app title and single icon for Settings in the corner) like twitter did: link. I have 4 tabs in my app too. I was wondering is there any chance to create only one navigation bar, so when I want to change it, I will change it only in one place?
I was looking at this tutorial, but there are two "Navigation Bar" objects. And I would like to have single object that will appear in every tab.
Right now I created tabbed app and manually added navigation bar item into first tab. Then I copied it into others. It works ofc, but I'm not sure about that solution:/
Your use of separate navigation controllers for each tab isn't a bad solution.
Setting up the navigation bar and its items in only one place is also a good idea. To achieve this, you could always have your view controllers derive from a custom view controller that overrides navigationItem.
Is it possible in a Tab Bar Controller to make a tab other than the first be the default view that shows up when app is launched?
To better illustrate, when the app launch, instead of document being the first screen is it possible to set "settings" as the first screen? without reorganizing the placement of the items in the tab bar?
UITabBarController has a property called selectedIndex. I think that's what you're looking for. In your case, you need to set it to 2 as you want Settings page to be displayed first.
I have an application which has 5 tabs. I also have another view which you can access from tab3 via a selection of buttons. I will call it view 3b. View 3b populates with information based on which button the user selected in view 3. After the user puts in all the information required the app automatically takes them back to view 3. I want to add the tab bar to this view(3b) but I do not want it to have its own tab. I just want to use it so the user can navigate out of this view back to the rest of the app if they want to exit the screen early. Does anyone know how I can attach the tab bar to this screen without having a tab added for this screen. I am using Xcode 4.6.2 and am using storyboards to set up my app.
Any help would be appreciated. I've done a bit of searching but everything I find just explains how to use tabs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It sounds like you need to use a UINavigationController.
When you set up your UITabBarController, instead of linking the third tab directly to your 3rd view controller, connect it to a UINavigationController, and then set the root view of that UINavigationController as the UIViewController you want as your third tab.
From there, you can set up your buttons to perform a push segue to your second view controller (view 3b from your question). If you do this, not only will you keep the tab bar on view 3b, but a back button will automatically be placed in the top left of the page so the user can simply go back to view 3. If you don't want the navigation bar that appears to be there, you can instead uncheck the "shows navigation bar" checkbox in the UINavigationController's attributes inspector.
I hope this helps!
I need to develop tab bar similar to Chrome's tab bar functionality on iPad. If the user opens more then 5 tabs it displays the extra tabs as a stack:
stacked tabs http://uploads.hipchat.com/26718/169836/yfzwdgq80m4rzbw/Screen%20Shot%202013-04-10%20at%202.36.56%20PM.png
How can I achieve this?
There's nothing like that built into iOS, so you're going to have to implement it yourself. I'd suggest implementing the tab bar portion of the window as a separate view that knows how to draw the individual tabs, including the currently selected tab, and which sends an appropriate message to it's target or delegate object when one of the tabs is tapped.
You can build a UINavigationController like Controller, with its own stack. If you are targeting iOS 5.0 and above you can use childViewController. The controller will have a tab bar, and container view. You will add view controllers to the stack of the Controller. From the stack you can form the tab bar item View, using titles of respective vc and views can overlap.
When they are selected bring the tab bar item view to the front and add the respective viewController as childViewController to the CustomTabBarController.
