iOS 7 tabBar-line, how to remove it?

Question

Apple has added a tiny line over the tabBar in iOS 7 which is supposed to work as a shadow or fade between the tabBar and the UI

Since I am using a custom-made tabBar the line is quite irritating. How do you remove it? Please tell me it is possible, otherwise I need to redesign my whole app lol....

/ Regards

*Edit

Sloved my problem with the following line of code:

[[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];

Answer 1

Swift

Nice simple solution:

Write this below code in your custom tab bar class. Then it will hide horizontal shadow line.

self.tabBar.setValue(true, forKey: "_hidesShadow")

Objective C

[self.tabBar setValue:@(YES) forKeyPath:@"_hidesShadow"];

Answer 2

Add the following code in AppDelegate.m didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue]>=7.0)
 [[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];

Answer 3

These code works pretty well for me (I don't really have background image for tab bar):

[tab_main.tabBar setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];
[[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];

And I use these code to add a frame too:

UIColor* color_green = UIColorFromRGB(0x348e5b);
tab_main.tabBar.layer.borderWidth = 0.50;
tab_main.tabBar.layer.borderColor = color_green.CGColor;
[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:color_green];

Hope that helps.

In my case I also needed to set a different shadow, in the end the only thing that worked while also setting a custom shadow was to add a single-point high UIView 1 point above the tab bar:

    UIView *whiteLine = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, -1.0, self.tabBar.frame.size.width, 1.0)];
    whiteLine.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [self.tabBar addSubview:whiteLine];

Answer 5

now you can use it, with this line:

self.tabBarController.tabBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; 

Answer 6

In iOS 8 the top border can be removed by setting the tab bar style to black in the inspector.
