UITabBar has NO background color after transition

Question

I've got this app. When it launches, it asks the user to log in. When you log in, it uses UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight to transition to a new UIViewController. The issue is, the UITabBar on the view controller has no background color. It is completely transparent. The UITabBar icons are there and it is otherwise fully functional, except that it has no background color.

This happened after I updated for iOS 7.1. Has anyone see this happen? If so, do you know how to fix it?

Apparently this issue has a "fix". This is obviously a bug on Apple's side.

Here is it

Answer 1

This is a bug in iOS 7.1 on Apples's side. The work around is to toggle the translucency on and off. Not the best fix, but it works. We will have to wait until Apple fixes this in 7.2 or later.

tabBar.translucent = NO;
tabBar.translucent = YES;
