I would only like to have an icon as the UITabBarItem and not the text underneath and I was wondering if this was possible, if so, how? TIA
Setting the item's title to nil is often insufficient, because if you set the view controller's title it will set the title of the tabbar item also.
Instead, do this:
tabbarItem.titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0.f, 50.f);
