The right way to make a custom UITabBar inside UITabBarController

I'm trying to create an app with UITabBarController, in order to use Cocoa's own memory and view controllers management for switching between different view controllers.

However I do need to make a very custom UITabBar, which after much Googling I found out is not possible. Several things are not possible with original UITabBar:

Is there any "legal" method of completely changing the design/subviews of TabBar but in the same time making use of UITabBarController and still getting app approved by Apple?

Thank you for your help.

Not much can be customized in tabbar but there are some good examples :-

  1. Custom Tabbar by iDevRecipes
  2. Custom TabBar by brianCollins

It might not be exactly what you need but will give you direction.

About changing the size you can extend UITabBar and overwrite the function sizeThatFits. I'm sorry for not having an answer for the other points.

- (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size {
    CGSize auxSize = size;
    auxSize.height = 54; // Put here the new height you want
    return auxSize;
}

I will tell you as soon as I will discover it.
