Custom UITabBarItem like in the Evernote app - ios

I'm trying to create a tab bar, where one of the tab items will open a modal view instead of opening a tab. I've already figured out how to do it, but I want that special tab item to look prominent, like in the Evernote tab bar. The Evernote "Add" button looks as if it is always in the selected state (while there is a regular selected tab in the tab bar at the same time).
I wonder - is it possible to achieve the same look (2 blue buttons at the same time) without overlaying custom buttons on top of the tab bar?
Thank you

Custom tab bar resizes when ever the other tab bar item is clicked

This is my tab bar when ever I launch my simulator.
But, when ever I click the other tab bar items, the other icons changes as shown below:
I want my tab bar icons to look like the first picture even if I click other tab bar items. Need help!

For custom tab bar images, you have to use a .pdf file with the dimensions of 25x25.
You can read more about this on Apple's Documentation.

IOS Tab Bar Item Popup Submenu

Good Day,
i am looking for a solution of how to make the UITabbar item can popup a submenu.
What part are you having trouble with? It seem pretty simple. Make custom view controller with a tabBar (don't use UITabBarController), for most tab bar items show the correct viewController (ie add as a childViewController), but for more show a popup (a different childViewController). Remember than when the more popup is dismissed to reselect the current tab on the tabbar.

I have UI View Controllers embedded in Tab Bar Controller. How can I change the lower tab bar icons to textfield on one view?

So this is how my story board looks like:
user has a tabbar with 3 icons on the bar and he can choose the tab that he wants to see. Then, from the 1st tab, he can press the button and he sees the TextDetails screen. Currently this screen 'inherits' the icons from the tab bar. Is there a possibility to change it so that there's only a UITextField there (instead of 3 icons)?

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.

iOS tab bar issue

In my app i'v UITabbarController as rootviewController with 3 tabs on it, each tab has its own UINavigationController.On the first tab i'v attached a UIViewController that hides tab bar and navigation bar, by click on a button user can go to next screen that will show tab bar as well as navigation bar.Now the problem is when i click on first tab on this view controller (which is already selected by default) it takes me on previous view controller and i want it should stay on the same screen.How to achieve this?
Edit: I dont want to disable bar item at index 0 as this turns it into UIControlStateDisabled which make it different looks from others.
Is there any way to set image for UIControlStateDisabled for tab bar item?
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Try this may be helpfull...
[[[[self.tabBarController tabBar]items]objectAtIndex:1]setEnabled:FALSE];
set "objectAtIndex" that you want..
