How to definitively set UITabBar background color and tint color

If you want to set tabbar's tint and barTint color implicitly then in your Appdelegate.swift,

    UITabBar.appearance().barTintColor = .orange    UITabBar.appearance().tintColor = .green

If you want to set tabbar's tint and barTint color for specific viewController then in ViewController.swift,

 self.tabBarController?.tabBar.tintColor = .orange self.tabBarController?.tabBar.barTintColor = .green
