How do I change background color of UITabItem when item is selected

Question

I would like a different background color when the user selects a tab bar item than when it is unselected.

Answer 1

Put this in the Appdelegate.m in application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

UIImage *whiteBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:@"whiteBackground"];
[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectionIndicatorImage:whiteBackground];
