How to move title of UITabBarItem?

Question

Can somebody tell me please how can I move title of UITabBarItem for example 2px to top?

Answer 1

Solution:

UITabBarItem *item = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0]; 
item.titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0, -5.0);

Answer 2

Update for Swift 3

Put this code inside UITabBarController:

UITabBarItem.appearance().titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: -5)

Swift 4 Like me, if you are creating tab bar controller inside some other controller just after adding all controller you can loop through the tab bar items and change title and positioning and font

for (index,tabBarItem) in tabBarController.tabBar.items!.enumerated() {
        tabBarItem.image = nil //if you only want title and no Image
        tabBarItem.title = titleArray[index] //setting your title based on some array
        let attributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20)] // changeing font and height of the text
        tabBarItem.setTitleTextAttributes(attributes, for: .normal)
        tabBarItem.titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: -10.0) // updating the title positon 
    }
