How can I use iOS's standard red number badges within my app? [closed]

Answer 1

I am using this by Sascha Paulus - http://www.spaulus.com/2011/04/custombadge-2-0-retina-ready-scalable-light-reflex/?lang=en

Which is a class that you can drop into your project, easy enough to customize for the appearance you are looking for. I had a slight issue with the placement of the number within the red badge so I shifted it slightly. Other than that, all good.

Answer 2

Where do you want the badge? The standard badge can trivially be added to a UITabBarItem through the badgeValue property. It is documented here.

This one looks 100% like the Apple one and it's also completely customizable: https://github.com/JaviSoto/JSBadgeView
