Create custom, iOS 6 like, App Store TabBar (image included) - ios

I'm working on an app originally developed by another programmer. My job is to make the interface more appealing. One really effective way I've found is to customize the tab bar. I've become very fond of iOS 6's App Store for iPad. I was wondering what would be the best way to recreate this (for iPad)? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!
The app relies heavily on the UITabBar, so I'm trying my best not to change this model. I've checked out TBTabBar, but currently it only supports the iPhone.

I have found some customisation here and here. I don't know if it is working on iPad too, but I hope it helps to get a direction.

Always on top (on other apps) button in iOS

I am new to iOS development and wondering if it's possible to create a floating button which always stays on top of screen even if you have any other app running in full screen mode?
No you can't do that on iOS, Apple isn't allowing this kind of features (like Messenger on Android for example)
I assume you mean something closer to AssistiveTouch. When turned on in accessibility, it will stay on top of the screen, no matter what app you have open. I recommend reading the Apple Docs for further investigating into this, but at the moment, Apple does not let you do this. Your app can't mess with other apps. It's pretty against what Apple's design guidelines allow you to do.
Is there a work around for what you are trying to accomplish with this? Maybe if you expand your question, I can help.

iOS Resizable GUIs with JUCE

I'm using the JUCE framework to make my first few iOS apps, mostly just proofs of concepts for my Github account for job recruiters.
I've got my first app compiled and working on iOS, but I'm having tons of issues with the GUI.
I can't seem to find the right resolutions to fill the screen. I'm testing with an iPhone 7 Plus, and I figured I could just type in the resolution of that screen to the Projucer, but it doesn't work correctly.
Then I realize I'd probably just want one that fills the screen automatically, but dont know which function calls to use or where its located in the Projucer (haven't found it yet).
Also, I'm entirely new to GUI developing as of December, so I'm still learning all of this. I would greatly appreciate keeping it simple. Thank you to anyone who is able to help.
Try this in MainComponent.cpp
Rectangle<int> area = Desktop::getInstance().getDisplays().getMainDisplay().totalArea;
centreWithSize (area.getWidth(), area.getHeight());

How to implement tabs on iOS at the top that are swipe-able?

I'm developing an iOS app and I was wondering how to implement a design element. I've looked but there isn't a answer that I was completely looking for. Any help would be great. :)
If you don't want to build it from the scratch, then maybe you can take a look at this- https://github.com/HighBay/PageMenu

Special Transition/Effect on the AppStore on iPad

I want to know if there is a Library that produces the same effect as we have on the AppStore when we view an app and see the details of the app.
I want to use it on my iPad application.
(If you want to see the effect, it's only available on iPad)
This may help.
As well as This.
And This
The thing you want to use for this purpose is the UIViewController Transitioning API introduced in iOS7
There are plenty tutorial on custom transition in the web. (see the links)

Recreating the iOS 5 Mail.app sidebar (iPad)

iOS 5's Mail app has a nifty little swipe gesture that brings up the sidebar in portrait mode. Now it seems like that gesture would be useful in other apps that use the master/detail layout, but as far as I can tell Apple hasn't released any sample code or documentation to show how the effect was created.
I've thought about how to replicate the effect in my own app but I'm not super experienced in view programming. Has anyone managed to recreate this effect in their own apps or would anyone know how to do so?
Here's a downloadable project that pretty well reverse engineers everything the Mail app is doing with its split view interface: https://github.com/mattneub/Programming-iOS-4-Book-Examples/blob/master/convertedToIOS5/p560p575splitViewNoPopover/p560p575splitViewNoPopover/MySplitViewController.m
