Apple has added a tiny line over the tabBar in iOS 7 which is supposed to work as a shadow or fade between the tabBar and the UI

enter image description here

Since I am using a custom-made tabBar the line is quite irritating. How do you remove it? Please tell me it is possible, otherwise I need to redesign my whole app lol....

/ Regards

*Edit

Sloved my problem with the following line of code:

[[UITabBar appearance] setShadowImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];
