# UITabBarItemStateAppearance

A data object containing the specific customizations for tab bar items in a particular state.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class UITabBarItemStateAppearance
```

## Overview

Overview Use a UITabBarItemStateAppearance object to customize the appearance of your tab bar items and the badges they display. Don’t create UITabBarItemStateAppearance objects yourself. Instead, create a UITabBarItemAppearance object and use its properties to fetch the appearance attributes for tab bar items in a particular state. For example, to set the attributes for items in the normal state, configure the object in the normal property.
