UIImage *selectedImage1 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"g.png"];
UIImage *unselectedImage1 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"g.png"];

UIImage *selectedImage2 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"i.png"];

UIImage *unselectedImage4 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"t.png"];


UITabBar *tabBar = self.tabBarController.tabBar;
UITabBarItem *item0 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];
UITabBarItem *item1 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1];
UITabBarItem *item2 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2];

[item0 setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage0 withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage0];
[item1 setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage1 withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage1];
[item2 setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage2 withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage2];
[item3 setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage3 withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage3];
[item4 setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage4 withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage4];

Answer 1

You should use - (UIImage *)imageWithRenderingMode:(UIImageRenderingMode)renderingMode NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(7_0); method like below

item0.image = [unselectedImage1 imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
item0.selectedImage = [selectedImage1 imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

Answer 2

You have set two images for each tabitem simple image and hover image.

item0.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"f.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]; // set simple image

item0.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"f.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]; // set hover image
