Answer 1

You need to add a UINavigationController right after the UITabBarController.

For a quick Storyboard fix, select the first UIViewController after the UITabBarController and in Xcode menu do Editor -> Embed In -> Navigation Controller

Answer 2

Connect all your First View Controllers that are attached to TabBarController with UINavigationController like this:

The reason why we do this because we need to open other ViewControllers in our TabBarController. If we don't use NavigationController then it produce nil and doesn't show the tabBar on other ViewControllers.
