How do I change background color of UITabItem when item is selected

Question

I would like a different background color when the user selects a tab bar item than when it is unselected.

Answer 1

Put this in your AppDelegate.m file:

 - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
            // Override point for customization after application launch.

            [UITabBar appearance].selectionIndicatorImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"activeTabBackgroundImage"];


            return YES;
        }
