How can I programmatically set selected tab of UITabBarController while also triggering shouldSelectViewController in UITabBarControllerDelegate
If you have implemented - (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController in your tabBarController's delegate than you can call it manually.
[self.tabBarController.delegate tabBarController:self.tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:[[tabBar viewControllers] objectAtIndex:2]];[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:2];Hope this helps.
