Setup tabBarItem for embedded controller in navigation controller.

  fileprivate func appenedVC(for rootViewController: UIViewController, tabBarTitle: String, image: UIImage) -> UIViewController {
    rootViewController.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: title, image: image, selectedImage: image)
    rootViewController.title = tabBarTitle
    let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: rootViewController)
    navController.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
    return navController
  }

Put it in your view controller - viewDidLoad()

self.title = “title“
self.tabBarItem.image = UIImage(named: “tabImage“)
self.tabBarItem.selectedImage = UIImage(named: “tabSelected”)

You can do that through storyboard as well. Select the Tab bar item in your navigation controller and go to attribute inspector and enter the title.

May be issue with title color. Try with this UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white], for: .normal) – Daljeet Seera May 06 '20 at 08:21
