RDVTabBarController is a drop-in Objective-C replacement for UITabBarController on iOS, offering deep customization of tab bar appearance, badges, and items. It supports iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape orientations, and can be embedded inside a UINavigationController.
Use cases
- customize the iOS tab bar appearance beyond what UITabBarController allows
- replace UITabBarController with a drop-in alternative
- add custom badges to tab bar items
- build a tabbed iOS app with custom selected/unselected tab icons and backgrounds
- use a tab bar controller inside a navigation controller
- support both iPhone and iPad tabbed layouts
When to choose
- you need pixel-level control over tab bar visuals in an Objective-C or Swift iOS app
- UITabBarController's customization options are insufficient for your design
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed component you can drop into your project
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project and can rely on modern UITabBarController or SwiftUI tab APIs
- you need actively maintained Swift-first UI libraries with ongoing updates
- your app targets only the newest iOS versions where system tab bars suffice
