How to Create a Custom Tab Bar in SwiftUI - Step by Step for Beginners (2023)

[@silicon_mind]

Great tutorial, thank you! If anybody stumbles on the same issue, in my case to make the capsule animation between tabs work, I had to wrap the button action in a withAnimation block: Button { withAnimation { tabSelection = index + 1 } }

Thanks a lot! Nice video and I liked the way you explain without any haste. Most videos from others are as if they are always in a hurry :)

Thank you so much. Hopefully I can be informative and do some live streams during the week of WWDC23.

Great video!! Extremely helpful!! Although I was trying to add a different photo to each page, and I'm not quite sure how to do it. I have tried doing it using TabView but it gets rid of all the icons. Any suggestions on how I can fix that?

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

Just make a new SwiftUI View and add it to the ContentView inside the TabView like this: TabContentViewOne() // Add a better View name here. .tag(1)

Audio is sounding better! Did you change up your mic placement, or doing some editing in post?

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

Changed my mic position.

Custom tabs for sure.

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

If you like custom tab views this takes a slightly different approach. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXvcm6Ovd7x0e9E

thanks for video 😍

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

You’re welcome.

Nice tutorial! Thank you! I have a small question: what does .tag() mean and work in your code?

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

It’s a unique identifier for the tab view.

Great video! , if we using custom tabview how we can persist the navigation state because if i switched the bottom tabs the navigation state gets reset

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

Good question, I'd have to look at the code again and think about it.

This is really great, using it for a project. However as overlay, I cant hide the customtabbar when I navigate into a nested View. Example: HomeView() contains a NavigationView and several different navigation Links In my MainView() I have a Tabview than includes HomeView and other views. When I select the Home tab in the tabbar, and then press a navigationLink, I enter a nested View with the overlay (Customtabbar) still still visible.

[@emilrifahi]

Would really appreciate feedback/ solutions on how I can hide the overlay of the tabview as well. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, but hopefully this live stream answers your question. Live Coding: Hide Custom TabView in SwiftUI kzbin.infobGSp2kRsawQ?feature=share

Hi, updating xcode to 14.3 i receive the log "[PipelineLibrary] Mapping the pipeline data cache failed, errno22" when adding the MapView in the viewcontroller. I Receive this error only when i test on a real device not in the simulator. Can i fix it ? Is a common problem? Thanks for the time I appreciate so much.

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

I haven’t run into this problem, so I’m not sure how I would fix it. Probably check out the Apple Developer forms or stack overflow. See if it’s something others have run into.

[@TrânBảo-x2k4q]

Can I add 6 items on the tab bar??

[@a_swiftly_tilting_planet]

Building out a custom tab bar would allow you to put as many that can fit on screen, or if you really wanted to you could make a scrolling tab bar.
