You add it as a UIViewController's property? You create a UITabBarItem

UITabBarItem *localTabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Date" image:clockIcon tag:0];

And then set UIViewController's property

[viewController setTabBarItem:localTabBarItem];

Here is a huge pack of TabBar images http://www.axialis.com/objects/ip_icon_09.shtml

If i was right, you just create a tabbarcontroller and give it an array of viewcontrollers in the right order **UITabBarController *mvc = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];** **mvc.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstVC,secondVC,thirdVC, nil];** – Nikita Pestrov Apr 20 '12 at 17:50

UITabBarItem *barItem = [[UITabBarItem] alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemMore tag:0];
self.tabBarItem = [barItem autorelease]; //of not using ARC

The predefined system bar items are:

UITabBarSystemItemMore,
UITabBarSystemItemFavorites,
UITabBarSystemItemFeatured,
UITabBarSystemItemTopRated,
UITabBarSystemItemRecents,
UITabBarSystemItemContacts,

UITabBarSystemItemBookmarks,
UITabBarSystemItemSearch,
UITabBarSystemItemDownloads,
UITabBarSystemItemMostRecent,
