Question

I have embedded a navigation controller like this:

I have also set this to be my root view with the arrow in storyboard pointing to this. But now I want to change so my app use a tab bar instead of a navigation controller. I have tried to click on the navigation controller than add a tab bar controller. But when I search through my storyboard xml file I still see refrences to navigation controller

To replace the NavigationController with a TabBarController:

1. Select the NavigationController in the Storyboard.
2. Hit the delete key.
3. Select your ViewController.
4. Select Editor->Embed in->Tab Bar Controller from the menu.
5. Select the TabBarController and check Is Initial View Controller in the Attributes Inspector.
