To add a Tab Bar Controller to the Storyboard, select the 4 placeholders that we just created and the View Controller. Then, go to Editor, select Embed in and Tab Bar Controller. This will envelop all those scenes in a single Tab Bar Controller. Put the new Tab Bar Controller on top of the other controllers.
Press Cmd+N to create a new SwiftUI View, calling it “MainView”. Creating tabs is as easy as putting different views inside an instance of TabView , but in order to add an image and text to the tab bar item of each view we need to use the tabItem() modifier.
