Items of a UITabBar are not being highlighted when selected

I'm having a trouble with a UITabBar with UITabBarItem added programmatically, the selected item is not being highlighted in white as usual.

Here's the source

UIImage *imageX = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sample.png"];
UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Sample" image:imageX tag:1];    
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:tabBarItem, nil];
[tabBar setItems:array];

When I select the item, the method didSelectItem of the delegate is called and the action is executed, but the image is not being highlighted by the bar...

- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item {

Anyone know what's wrong ? I have to call other method to pass the highlighted image or something like that ?

The items of the tab bar are added programmatically but the tab bar I add via Storyboard.

Also, I did a test where the tab bar and the tab bar items are added via Storyboard, and everything works, including the highlighted icon is shown when it's selected

Thanks !

I solve the problem by adding code in - (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item; function :

self.tabBar.selectedItem = item;

I don't know why I have to do this, but it's working.
