Answer 1

I believe Apple actively discourages people from doing this in their apps, and so do I. It is never done in the iOS itself, and I have never seen it in any third-party apps either, so users will probably be confused.

If you add more than five items to the viewControllers property, the tab bar controller automatically inserts a special view controller (called the More view controller) to handle the display of the additional items. The More view controller provides a custom interface that lists the additional view controllers in a table, which can expand to accommodate any number of view controllers. The More view controller cannot be customized or selected and does not appear in any of the view controller lists managed by the tab bar controller. For the most part, it appears automatically when it is needed and is separate from your custom content. You can get a reference to it though by accessing the moreNavigationController property of UITabBarController.

You can use any open source custom UITabbarControler or can create your own. As created in this open source code. JFTabBarController a custom tabbar controller on Cocoa Controls

Answer 3

Use private property called _customMaxItems on UITabBarController

Example:

final class CustomTabBarController: UITabBarController {

    private var customMaxItems: CGFloat {
        get {
            self.value(forKey: "_customMaxItems") as! CGFloat
        }

        set {
            self.setValue("_customMaxItems", forKey: key)
        }
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad() 

        self.customMaxItems = 10
    }

}
