PerformSegue from TabBarController to ViewController without hiding TabBar

I created an iOS app with Xcode and Swift. My Storyboard contains five ViewControllers managed by a single TabBarController.

Is there a way to perform a segue from a UITabBarController to a UIViewController without the TabBar at the bottom disappears?

I was asking this question to handle QuickActions this way. Here's the working solution, without the TabBar disappears: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37710017/6423177

If you're performing segue from UITabBarController to the UIViewController, you cannot keep the TabBar showing, although if you perform segue from on of the view controller (i.e. a tab) to the UIViewController the TabBar will not be hidden.

UIWindow root
|
UITabbarController
|
|- UINavigationController - navigationStack
|                                         |- 1 - SomeViewController
|                                         |- ...
|                                         |- ...
|                                         |- N'th...SomeViewController
|- SomeViewController
|- SomeViewController
|- SomeViewController

This above is the correct view controller hierarchy. Trying to do it any other way doesn't make any sense. In the example I only embedded the first set of controllers inside a navigation controller. It will do what you asked for. You can use this embedding in any of the tab bar positions.

The TabBarController uses VC containment to show controllers. You can embed your controllers like this

If the view controller you are segueing to is among the tab bar view controllers then all you need is:

self.selectedIndex = INDEX_OF_VIEWCONTROLLER_IN_TABS

That will move to the controller as though you tapped on a tab.

So, you can do let tabVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController("TABIDENTIFIER") as! UITabBarController (or CustomTabBarController)

then select the index tabVC.selectedIndex = index

The best way to implement this is to wrap your view controllers contained in the tab bar controller in a UINavigationController. Then inside of that view, you can push the new view onto the Navigation Controller and preserve the Tab Bar controller.
