Set selected tab bar item tint?

Question

I am aware there are similar answers on this topic, but I cant seem to come to any conclusion. I'm using IOS 8 and a tab bar created in app delegate. Is there a way to set the selected tab bar item to a certain colour. preferably without using an image.

Answer 1

[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor myBlueishColor]];
[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectedImageTintColor:[UIColor myBlueishColor]];
