You can use the following code.

[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectionIndicatorImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];

Try It.

no..i meant the selection glow, i want to remove that effect when i click simple words : nothing should happen on tabbar appearance when i click an effect user should not find which button is been clicked (actually i will change button selected image for that) – Nithin M Keloth Nov 28 '12 at 06:52
do u need to change tab bar image when customer select some tab right? – mano Nov 28 '12 at 06:58
no..u still did not get the real need of mine, "on a tabbar application(any simple one) when user click on one tab,that tab button will be selected(a gray colored tint will be there right ?) I want to hide that..!!!" – Nithin M Keloth Nov 28 '12 at 07:01
only way to achieve this u need to replace the whole tabbar instead of replace tabbaritem – mano Nov 28 '12 at 07:30

This will definitely help you. Simply create an UIImage object and pass it to setSelectionIndicatorImage property .

[yourTabbar setSelectionIndicatorImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];

You need to set UITabBarItem appearance:

[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
 [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor yellowColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
                                          [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f], UITextAttributeFont,nil]
                                         forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
