How to change the width of UITabBarItem?

I have an item with the title, that is wider than default item width. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

You can change the spacing (and width) of the tab bar items by subclassing UITabBar and overriding its layoutSubviews method. You will find all tab bar buttons in the self.subViews array. Their class is the non-public UITabBarButton but they inherit from UIControl so you can identify all tab bar buttons checking if they are kind of UIControl class. Then all you need is to change the frame of the tab bar buttons.
