How to add one extra button on TabBar without a view controller because i want to handling that button click form following method ... 

override func tabBar(_ tabBar: UITabBar, didSelect item: UITabBarItem)
    {
        if (tabBar.items?.firstIndex(of: item))! == 3{
         //button click do some thing on existing view 
        }
    }

i already add three buttons with ViewControllers with following code 

 let VC = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: 
 Bundle.main).instantiateViewController(identifier: VCidentifier)                                                 
 VC.tabBarItem.image = UIImage(named: selectedImage)
 VC.tabBarItem.selectedImage = UIImage(named: unSelectedImage)

and then add these ViewControllers to this 

viewControllers = [firstVC,secoundVC,thirdVC,fourthVC]

but i want to add forth button without a view controller ...

    From the docs: "Tab bar items are configured through their corresponding view controller. To associate a tab bar item with a view controller, create a new instance of the UITabBarItem class, configure it appropriately for the view controller, and assign it to the view controller’s tabBarItem property. If you don't provide a custom tab bar item for your view controller, the view controller creates a default item containing no image and the text from the view controller’s title property." – koen Mar 20 '20 at 13:48

It's not possible to add tab bar button without view controller. But you can create empty view controller and use UITabBarControllerDelegate to make whatever you want when the fourth button clicked.
