tab bar item not showing in storyboard

Question

Here's a picture of the storyboard:

As you can see the tab bar is gray, and I'm expecting something like this where we can see the items:

Have you tried dragging a Tab Bar Item from the Object Library into the view controllers? It looks like that's what's missing.

I'v tried but it did not work. Nevertheless the problem solve itself after a while, I still dont know why. It's a xcode bug I guess – Gargantua Feb 05 '16 at 19:05

Well, after a few minutes and after restarting Xcode many times the problem solved itself.

I guess it was a Xcode bug then.
