Answer 1

Set the icon to the tabbar like this

self.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage"];

Don't use

[self.tabBarItem setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage];

because then the image will not be automatically styled to the default tabbar style

You just need to set the image mask (gray, 1 color image with the transparency), not the complete image. According to the documentation

A custom icon that you provide for a toolbar, navigation bar, or tab bar is also known as a template image, because iOS uses it as a mask to create the icon you see in your app. It is not necessary to create a full-color template image.
