How can I hide a UITabbarIcon?

Question

I'm currently developing an iOS-App which will have 5 tabbar-icons. One of these should only be visible if you are allowed to see it. How can I hide this icon?

You can add / remove tabBarItems at run time to achieve this. — Bhavik Modi, May 30 '19 at 09:29
@YogeshPatel This hides the complete tabbar not a specific icon. — Abc, May 30 '19 at 09:42
Okay try this way tabBarController.viewControllers?.remove(at:0) — Yogesh Patel, May 30 '19 at 09:44

If you want to remove the UIViewController from tabBar, add this line of code in the UITabBarControllerClass

For removal

self.viewControllers?.remove(at: tabIndex) // replace the tabIndex which you want to remove

For Add

self.viewControllers?.insert(viewController, at: tabIndex) // replace the viewcontroller with your controller and tabIndex with your index

I did it in a ViewController with `self.tabBarController?.viewControllers?` instead of in the UITabBarControllerClass. This did work too. – Abc May 30 '19 at 10:12

With the following code, you can remove the specified tab from tab bar:

let tabIndex = 3
if let tabBarController = self.tabBarController {
    if tabIndex < tabBarController.viewControllers?.count {
        var allViewControllers = tabBarController.viewControllers
        allViewControllers?.remove(at: tabIndex)
        tabBarController.viewControllers = allViewControllers
    }
}
