Does anyone know how to have a tab bar controller and then have a series of screens connected to the tab. These screens would still have the tab bar controller in them with out adding another tab for these screens. I read it was not possible to have a navigation controller inside of a tab bar controller but the facebook app has exactly what i'm trying to reproduce. Help!
Here is a picture of what i'm talking about:

If you look at this picture i'm trying to figure out how to add view controllers after the "design" tab but i still want them to have the tab bar on the pages but go back and forth smoothly like if there was a navigation controller present. I have seen this done in the Facebook app i just don't know how to replicate it!
"I read it was not possible to have a navigation controller inside of a tab bar controller" => Where did you read that ? You can set navigation controllers on the tabs.
Simply drag the Navigation controller component on the storyboard and link it from the tab bar controller.

I have a problem with navigation bar not getting displayed in iOS 8 (Xcode beta 3). The View Controller is connected to a TableView Controller (embedded in a navigation controller) via Segue (Show/Push). As a result of this connection the View Controller shows a navigation bar.
Now when I to place a custom navigation bar with controls over the inferred navigation bar, it gets hidden. What could be the problem? I do not want to hide the navigation bar via code.Is there any way I can specify Send to Front option for my custom navigation bar?
I have resolved this issue by adding navigation item instead of custom navigation bar. Then added the button bar items to the navigation item. Now the title and the controls are getting displayed.
I'm currently on Xcode 4.6.3. I used storyboards in my project. Inside the storyboard is a tab bar controller and two table view controllers. I have the tab bar controller as the root view and I have it linked up with the two table view controllers via "relationship segue - view controllers".
The main problem I'm experiencing is that I can't seem to select the tab bar item in the storyboard so that I can change the name and the image for that tab bar. When I click on the tab bar, its properties does not appear in my inspector view, or at least, I don't see any property for the title and image. All I see is this
I've read through tutorials online that you can change the title and image of a tab bar item easily just by clicking the tab bar item to reveal the properties. Is this an issue with my version of Xcode?
I already figured it out. It has nothing to do with the Xcode version. The tab bar item subview was in the two table view controllers so just select it there to edit title and image. There's no tab bar item subview in the tab bar controller itself.
I see you have connected your tabs to TableViewControllers...You can edit by clicking the bottom tab of one of the TableViewControllers that you have connected to. If this doesn't work first try a sample project by just keeping your tabs as simple ViewControllers.
I'm developing a storyboard app with UITabBarController.
I want a UINavigationBar on one of the tab ViewControllers. I set the property Black NavigatonBar in ViewController property, and also drag navigationItem to this view.
NavigationBar is not visible in the viewVontroller when I run the app
It sounds like you're changing the pop up in the simulated metrics inspector. That inspector allows you to tell Xcode about things that will exist in your app that don't exist in the storyboard.
It sounds like you want to add a navigation controller into the storyboard to wrap one of the view controllers in your tab controller. You can do that in the editor menu by choosing the "Embed in" menu, and then choosing "Navigation Controller".
Choosing that item will insert a new navigation controller, make the selected view controller the root of the navigation controller, and re-route any segues that used to point at the selected to controller to point at the navigation controller instead.
xcode 4.6
using Storyboards
When I drag a Bar Button Item to the navigation bar at the top of one of the UITableViewControllers that are children of the UITabBarController xcode creates a new navigation bar at the bottom of the page instead of adding the button where I dropped it. I would be ok with this, but when I run the app the bottom navigation bar never shows up, so my button is never displayed.
If you need to visualize the app, picture the following: Root controller displays a list of accounts. When an account is clicked a tab controller lists tabs for opportunities and contacts. I need the ability to add opportunities and contacts from the relevant tab
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT
I am not sure if this is the correct solution or not. I have embedded the uitableviewcontrollers in navigation controllers, which appears to have fixed the problem.
Follow-up question - Is this the correct way to handle this situation?
Yes, that is the correct way to handle this situation.
You should embed the view controller inside a navigation controller by clicking the view controller in your storyboard and using the Xcode menu "Editor" > "Embed In" > "Navigation Controller".
When opening up a project today, there is some weird behavior in XCode. Things have disappeared in the storyboard view like the NavigationBar in viewController, the buttons associated with it, etc. I can see in the Scene list that they still exist. Is there any way to have these show up again?
You probably need to add a navigation controller to your storyboard and make your view controller the root. You cannot simply set the top bar in simulated metrics in storyboard to navigation bar.
