Answer 1

Instead of PushView Controller Use presentViewController Try this Code

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

   _ = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(2.1, target: self, selector: #selector(Splash.someSelector), userInfo: nil, repeats: false)
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

func someSelector() {
    let storyboard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    let vc : TabBarCotroller = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("TabBarCotroller") as! TabBarCotroller

    let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
    self.present(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

First of all in storyboard make custom class view controller as Initial view controller. And after that push tabbar controller to current navigation controller.

let tabBar = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("tabBarViewController") as! UITabBarController tabBarVC.selectedIndex = 0
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(tabBar, animated: true)
