I have a app having two tabs. Also using a splitviewcontroller. I want to link the tab bar (tab1) controller with the splitviewcontroller so that when tab1 is selected splitviewcontroller should be shown.
I tried attaching modal segue from tab to splitVC. But no luck. is there any way to do this using storyboard?
Please help.

Both UISplitViewController and UITabbarController have arrays of viewControllers they display. So it's impossible to have them both on screen. But I think you can use UISegmentedControl instead of tabbar in one of yours views.

I am using TabBarController with four tabs in my applicatin. In the second Tab I'm using PageViewcontroller. PageViewController contains Five pages. Where the first Page view contains the button. On button click we can navigate to another view. When we navigate to another view, the tab is going to hide.
But I don't want to hide the Tab bar.
Anyone can please help to resolve this problem.
Thanks
In order to make UITabBar visible in all the screens of your app you need to take UINavigationController for all the tabs, UINavigationController will be the viewControllers with relational segue and UINavigationController's root view controllers will be your initial controllers which you want to show on Tabs
Below is the screenshot of how you design it using your storyboard
And here is how it works
Deselect Hide bottom bar on push as below :
Or programatically :
yourViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = NO;
The Problem
I'm relatively new to Swift and I'm trying to build an application that makes use of a UITabBarController.
What I'm trying to do is put a different navigation bar (or UINavigationItem) on each of the tabs in the UITabBarController.
For example, I want the UINavigationItem I set, with its bar button items, to appear on MyViewController instead of a back button to the previous view controller, such as shown on the image below.
The current layout on the Storyboard is as follows.
MyViewController on the sidebar:
What I've Tried
Someone suggested that I should embed each UIViewController (e.g. MyViewController) in a Navigation Controller. I've tried this and it doesn't work.
I've also tried to set the Top Bar to "None" in the Attributes tab of the options menu.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Here is how i did it,
UINavigationController -> UITabbarController
And then each "Tab" is in different Storyboard and every storyboard start with a "Navigation Controller". So yes every tab in different navigation controller this how you should do it.
Different storyboards because may be multiple people work on storyboard at same time.
Why TabbarController inside Navigationcontroller ?
I put the "TabbarController" inside "NavigationController" because some of the controllers i want them to be full screen, like hiding the "Tabbar" so for that i push them from main NavigationController.
//Out of context but may help you,
I have created an "Extension" of Navigation Controller to push a view controller on main navigation so that any of the tabbars (which are also inside navigation controllers) can easily use the extension to push any view controller if want to hide the tabbar.
I have a tab bar that works as normal. However, I'd like for one of the buttons to have a view controller pop up modally, which will hide the tab bar. When it resigns, the tab bar will re-appear. I've seen this in other apps but I'm at a loss how to accomplish this. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Why not?
Make segue between ViewControllers in your storyboard. You should ctrl+drag from one ViewControllers to another.
In the UITabBarDelegate method tabBar:didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item, implement
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"segue identifier" sender:someObj];
I have a UITabBarController to whose controllers I would like to attach navigation. So I inserted the NavigationController as the entry controller, and the tabBarController as its root. All seems working fine, but for the tabBar. Basically it does not show, albeit the StoryBoard I attach seems to say differently. I also attach the Account Screen not showing any navigation bar nor, of course, any back button.
Thanks,

Just a quick answer. I think you should put UINavigationController inside the TabBarController instead of the other way round. It will solve most of your problems.
Steps: Editor -> Embed in -> Navigation Controller
See the below screen shot on how to add a Navigation Controller to a View Controller.
You are following wrong approach, IOS does not allow you to use tabbarview controller as root of navigation controller, it always display black screen. I have faced same problem and as a solution i have added navigation bar after tabbar controller. Yes it becomes difficult to manage, but you can use that way and it will work.
If you use programmatic approach instead of storyboard then it is possible, see this link
Even you can try from Editor option of XCODE, select tabbar controller you have added from storyboad then go to Editor->Embedded in, you will see that navigation bar controller is disable.
This is also give you idea that it will not work.
I've tried a lot to get this done.I don't want want to use addsubview or uitabbarcontroller. I want to switch the view when I tap on different tabs and tabbar should stay there. Thanks a lot in advance.I m a newbie.I want to use uitabbar not uitabbarcontroller.
A simple approach would be to wrap the view controllers you are inserting in UITabBarController in a UINavigationController then you can simply push your new view to that UINavigationController and the tab bar would be always visible!
For more details refer Apple Docs
Edit:
If you don't want to use UITabBarController then you need to do 2 things:
Add the tab bar View to UIWindow that way it would be always visible.
Scale/adjust the views in your view controllers to leave space for the tab bar
