IOS: how to make the tab bar on the left on the iPad

Question

I have seen many applications creating a sidebar on the left, as shown above. Apparently, this is not a split view controller, as there is a patch size for this.

Does anyone know how to do this? Can I get some guidance or advice on this?

Answer 1

This can be done by simply adding to your main view a UIView with a "vertical" frame, for example. (0, 0, 44, screenHeight). Then this view should be filled with all the icons you need ...

There is nothing more as far as I can see.

Answer 2

This tutorial shows how you can implement such a “custom tab bar”, he also made a video about it,

Answer 3

You cannot use the default UITabBarController from iOS. You will need to make your own tab bar. You can use UIView with some UIButtons added as subviews.
