UITabBarController Set a Default Tab in Swift Language

I have a UITabBarController that has 5 different view controllers attached to it. Each one has there own specific tab such as Home, Settings, etc. How can i set a certain tab to be the default tab when launched?

You could consider changing the tab in the app delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions (or whatever owns the tab bar controller) with code like this:

if let tabController = window?.rootViewController as? UITabBarController {
        tabController.selectedIndex = 1
    }

Is there a specific reason why you can't move your chosen first tab to be presented to the left most slot?

self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = desiredIndex

or, if you're code is in a UITabBarConroller subclass, simply:

 selectedIndex = desiredIndex

should work.
