When you are saying, you don't want to use it, then why to remove it. You can go with a
tabbarcontroller
with hidden tabbar
. I am switching tabs from the bottom custom bar.
I am doing an app, which has a tababr controller with three items. Instead of using system tab, I am creating a custom view at the footer like tab & have actually set the hidden
property of tabbarController's tabbar to YES.
myTabBarController.tabBar.hidden = YES;
