# UITabBar

Tab bar visibility and configuration during launch.

## Discussion

Discussion When you provide a dictionary for this key, the system displays a tab bar during launch. You can optionally set the dictionary’s UIImageName key to define a custom image for the tab bar. Omit this key if you don’t want to display a tab bar during launch.
