Question

I have an application that needs to show different content from a UITabBarController based on if the user is registered or not. Is there a way to add and remove ViewControllers from a UITabBarController at run-time? Show and Hide would be fine too.

Prior to storyboards you could call setViewController but that does not seem to be the right way when using stoaryboards.

Answer 1

You can remove a tabbar item as follows:

NSMutableArray *tabbarViewControllers = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray: [self.tabBarController viewControllers]];
[tabbarViewControllers removeObjectAtIndex: /*Any index*/];
[self.tabBarController setViewControllers: tabbarViewControllers ];
