Question

I have an activation page in my app, which is mandatory for every user to activate the app.
Once the app is activated, the user moves to the tabbed bar view.

I have created a tabbed bar application, where from my activationView on click of button I am trying to call the tab bar, I am getting an entire black screen.

- (IBAction)moveToActivateView:(id)sender {
    AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];
    [self.view addSubview:tabBarController.view];
    appDelegate.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

    UIViewController *viewController1 = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
    UIViewController *viewController2 = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];

    self.tabBarController.viewControllers = @[viewController1, viewController2];
    appDelegate.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
    [appDelegate.window makeKeyAndVisible];}

Hey make your tabBarController’s property in appDelegate and assign all ViewController there then call your tabBarController from yourViewController

in AppDelegate.h

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;

in AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

    [self makeTabBar];

    [self addInitialVIew];

    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}  


-(void)makeTabBar
{    
    tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
    tabBarController.delegate=self;
    FirstViewController *firstVC =[[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];    

    UINavigationController *firstNC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstVC];
    firstNC.tabBarItem.title=@"Profile";
    firstVC.tabBarController.tabBar.tag = 0;


    SecondViewController *secondVC = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];

    UINavigationController *SecondNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:secondVC];    
    SecondNavController.tabBarItem.title = @"Search";
    secondVC.tabBarController.tabBar.tag = 1;


    NSArray *viewControllers =[[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:firstNC,SecondNavController, nil];
    [tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers animated:NO];   
}

-(void) addInitialVIew
{    
    InitialViewController *initialViewController = [[InitialViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"InitialViewController" bundle:nil];
    navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:ViewController];
    [self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];
}

Now in InitialViewController you can add yourTabBar and remove InitialViewController

- (IBAction)switchToTabBarBtnPress:(id)sender
{
    AppDelegate *appdelegte =(AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];

    [[[appdelegte navigationController] view]removeFromSuperview];

    [[appdelegte window]addSubview:[[appdelegte tabBarController]view]];

    [[appdelegte tabBarController]setSelectedIndex:0];
}

And Follow my answer
