Try below code : When you want to set programatically.

// get your TabBarController
//UITabBarController *tabBarController = self.tabBarController
UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *)self.window.rootViewController; 
UITabBar *tabBar = tabBarController.tabBar;

UITabBarItem *tabItem1 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];
[tabItem1 setSelectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectimg"]];
tabItem1.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectimg"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem1.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"deselectimg"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem1.title = @"xxxx";

UITabBarItem *tabItem2 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1];
tabItem2.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectimg"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem2.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"deselectimg"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem2.title = @"xxxx";

UITabBarItem *tabItem3 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2];
tabItem3.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectimg"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem3.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"deselectimg"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem3.title = @"xxxx";

UITabBarItem *tabItem4 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:3];
tabItem4.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"selectimg"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem4.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"deselectimg"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal ];
tabItem4.title = @"xxxx";
