Estoy cambiando las pestañas mediante programación en una aplicación basada en la barra de pestañas usando UITabBarController.selectedIndex. El problema que intento resolver es cómo animar la transición entre las vistas. es decir. desde la vista de la pestaña actual a la vista de la pestaña seleccionada.

La primera idea fue hacer uso de UITabBarControllerDelegate, pero parece que no se llama cuando se cambia de pestaña mediante programación. Ahora estoy considerando el UITabBarDelegate.didSelectItem: como un posible gancho para establecer una animación de transición.

¿Alguien ha logrado animar las transiciones? Si es así, ¿cómo?

Actualización 04/2016: Justed quería actualizar esto para agradecer a todos por todos los votos. Tenga en cuenta también que esto se escribió originalmente cuando ... antes de ARC, antes de las restricciones, antes ... ¡muchas cosas! Por lo tanto, tenga esto en cuenta al decidir si utilizar estas técnicas. Puede haber enfoques más modernos. Ah, y si encuentras uno. Agregue una respuesta para que todos puedan verla. Gracias.

Algún tiempo después ...

Después de mucha investigación, se me ocurrieron dos soluciones de trabajo. Ambos funcionaron e hicieron la animación entre pestañas.

Solución 1: transición desde la vista (simple)

Este es el más fácil y utiliza un método de transición UIView predefinido. Con esta solución no necesitamos administrar las vistas porque el método hace el trabajo por nosotros.

// Get views. controllerIndex is passed in as the controller we want to go to. 
UIView * fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController.view;
UIView * toView = [[tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:controllerIndex] view];

// Transition using a page curl.
[UIView transitionFromView:fromView 
                    toView:toView 
                  duration:0.5 
                   options:(controllerIndex > tabBarController.selectedIndex ? UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlUp : UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlDown)
                completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                    if (finished) {
                        tabBarController.selectedIndex = controllerIndex;
                    }
                }];

Solución 2: scroll (más complejo)

Una solución más compleja, pero le brinda más control de la animación. En este ejemplo, las vistas se activan y desactivan. Con este tenemos que gestionar las vistas nosotros mismos.

// Get the views.
UIView * fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController.view;
UIView * toView = [[tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:controllerIndex] view];

// Get the size of the view area.
CGRect viewSize = fromView.frame;
BOOL scrollRight = controllerIndex > tabBarController.selectedIndex;

// Add the to view to the tab bar view.
[fromView.superview addSubview:toView];

// Position it off screen.
toView.frame = CGRectMake((scrollRight ? 320 : -320), viewSize.origin.y, 320, viewSize.size.height);

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 
                 animations: ^{

                     // Animate the views on and off the screen. This will appear to slide.
                     fromView.frame =CGRectMake((scrollRight ? -320 : 320), viewSize.origin.y, 320, viewSize.size.height);
                     toView.frame =CGRectMake(0, viewSize.origin.y, 320, viewSize.size.height);
                 }

                 completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                     if (finished) {

                         // Remove the old view from the tabbar view.
                         [fromView removeFromSuperview];
                         tabBarController.selectedIndex = controllerIndex;                
                     }
                 }];

Esta solución en Swift:

extension TabViewController: UITabBarControllerDelegate {
      public func tabBarController(tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelectViewController viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {

           let fromView: UIView = tabBarController.selectedViewController!.view
           let toView  : UIView = viewController.view
           if fromView == toView {
                 return false
           }

           UIView.transitionFromView(fromView, toView: toView, duration: 0.3, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.TransitionCrossDissolve) { (finished:Bool) in

        }
        return true
   }
}

Lo siguiente es mi intento de usar el formulario de código drekka en el método delegado (UITabBarControllerDelegate)

- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {

    NSArray *tabViewControllers = tabBarController.viewControllers;
    UIView * fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController.view;
    UIView * toView = viewController.view;
    if (fromView == toView)
        return false;
    NSUInteger fromIndex = [tabViewControllers indexOfObject:tabBarController.selectedViewController];
    NSUInteger toIndex = [tabViewControllers indexOfObject:viewController];

    [UIView transitionFromView:fromView
                        toView:toView
                      duration:0.3
                       options: toIndex > fromIndex ? UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft : UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight
                    completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                        if (finished) {
                            tabBarController.selectedIndex = toIndex;
                        }
                    }];
    return true;
}

Mi solución para iOS7.0 o superior.

Puede especificar un controlador de animación personalizado en el delegado de la barra de pestañas.

Implemente un controlador de animación como este:

@interface TabSwitchAnimationController : NSObject <UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>

@end

@implementation TabSwitchAnimationController

- (NSTimeInterval)transitionDuration:(id <UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
    return 0.2;
}

- (void)animateTransition:(id <UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
    UIViewController* fromVC = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey];
    UIViewController* toVC = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey];
    UIView* toView = toVC.view;
    UIView* fromView = fromVC.view;

    UIView* containerView = [transitionContext containerView];
    [containerView addSubview:toView];
    toView.frame = [transitionContext finalFrameForViewController:toVC];

    // Animate by fading
    toView.alpha = 0.0;
    [UIView animateWithDuration:[self transitionDuration:transitionContext]
                          delay:0.0
                        options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut | UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction
                     animations:^{
                         toView.alpha = 1.0;
                     }
                     completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                         toView.alpha = 1.0;
                         [fromView removeFromSuperview];
                         [transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
                     }];
}

@end

Luego úselo en su UITabBarControllerDelegate:

- (id <UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController
            animationControllerForTransitionFromViewController:(UIViewController *)fromVC
                                              toViewController:(UIViewController *)toVC
{
    return [[TabSwitchAnimationController alloc] init];
}

En lugar de usar tabBarController:shouldSelectViewController:es mejor implementartabBarController:animationControllerForTransitionFromViewController:toViewController:

TransitioningObject.swift

import UIKit

class TransitioningObject: NSObject, UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning {

    func animateTransition(transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) {
        let fromView: UIView = transitionContext.viewForKey(UITransitionContextFromViewKey)!
        let toView: UIView = transitionContext.viewForKey(UITransitionContextToViewKey)!

        transitionContext.containerView().addSubview(fromView)
        transitionContext.containerView().addSubview(toView)

        UIView.transitionFromView(fromView, toView: toView, duration: transitionDuration(transitionContext), options: UIViewAnimationOptions.TransitionCrossDissolve) { finished in
            transitionContext.completeTransition(true)
        }
    }

    func transitionDuration(transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) -> NSTimeInterval {
        return 0.25
    }
}

TabBarViewController.swift

import UIKit

    class TabBarViewController: UITabBarController, UITabBarControllerDelegate {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.delegate = self
    }

    // MARK: - Tabbar delegate

    func tabBarController(tabBarController: UITabBarController, animationControllerForTransitionFromViewController fromVC: UIViewController, toViewController toVC: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
        return TransitioningObject()
    }
}

Creo que puedes lograr fácilmente transiciones para UITabBarControlelr usando CATransition; Esto también resolverá los efectos secundarios del uso de transitionFromView: toView:

Use esto dentro de su clase TabBarController personalizada extendida desde UITabBarController.

- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController (UIViewController*)viewController {

    CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
    [animation setType:kCATransitionFade];
    [animation setDuration:0.25];
    [animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:
                              kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn]];
    [self.view.window.layer addAnimation:animation forKey:@"fadeTransition"];
}

Espero que esto ayude :)

Escribí una publicación después de probar las diversas respuestas aquí.

El código está en Swift, y puede cambiar programáticamente la pestaña con animación llamando animateToTab.

func animateToTab(toIndex: Int) {
    let tabViewControllers = viewControllers!
    let fromView = selectedViewController!.view
    let toView = tabViewControllers[toIndex].view    
    let fromIndex = tabViewControllers.indexOf(selectedViewController!)

    guard fromIndex != toIndex else {return}

    // Add the toView to the tab bar view
    fromView.superview!.addSubview(toView)

    // Position toView off screen (to the left/right of fromView)
    let screenWidth = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width;
    let scrollRight = toIndex > fromIndex;
    let offset = (scrollRight ? screenWidth : -screenWidth)
    toView.center = CGPoint(x: fromView.center.x + offset, y: toView.center.y)

    // Disable interaction during animation
    view.userInteractionEnabled = false

    UIView.animateWithDuration(0.5, delay: 0.0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.CurveEaseOut, animations: {

            // Slide the views by -offset
            fromView.center = CGPoint(x: fromView.center.x - offset, y: fromView.center.y);
            toView.center   = CGPoint(x: toView.center.x - offset, y: toView.center.y);

        }, completion: { finished in

            // Remove the old view from the tabbar view.
            fromView.removeFromSuperview()
            self.selectedIndex = toIndex
            self.view.userInteractionEnabled = true
        })
}

Si desea que todos los cambios de pestaña tengan la animación, conéctelo UITabBarControllerDelegatecomo tal:

func tabBarController(tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelectViewController viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {
    let tabViewControllers = tabBarController.viewControllers!
    guard let toIndex = tabViewControllers.indexOf(viewController) else {
        return false
    }

    // Our method
    animateToTab(toIndex)

    return true
}

Mi solución en Swift:

Cree una clase TabBar personalizada y configúrela en su TabBar del guión gráfico

class MainTabBarController: UITabBarController, UITabBarControllerDelegate {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.delegate = self
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

func tabBarController(tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelectViewController viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {


    let tabViewControllers = tabBarController.viewControllers!
    let fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController!.view
    let toView = viewController.view

    if (fromView == toView) {
        return false
    }

    let fromIndex = tabViewControllers.indexOf(tabBarController.selectedViewController!)
    let toIndex = tabViewControllers.indexOf(viewController)

    let offScreenRight = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(toView.frame.width, 0)
    let offScreenLeft = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-toView.frame.width, 0)

    // start the toView to the right of the screen


    if (toIndex < fromIndex) {
        toView.transform = offScreenLeft
        fromView.transform = offScreenRight
    } else {
        toView.transform = offScreenRight
        fromView.transform = offScreenLeft
    }

    fromView.tag = 124
    toView.addSubview(fromView)

    self.view.userInteractionEnabled = false
    UIView.animateWithDuration(0.5, delay: 0.0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.CurveEaseOut, animations: {

        toView.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity

        }, completion: { finished in

            let subViews = toView.subviews
            for subview in subViews{
                if (subview.tag == 124) {
                    subview.removeFromSuperview()
                }
            }
            tabBarController.selectedIndex = toIndex!
            self.view.userInteractionEnabled = true

    })

    return true
 }

}

Usé la solución de @ Mofumofu y la actualicé a Swift 1.2 y también implementé una animación arriba / abajo. Es decir, el nuevo ViewController aparece y empuja al anterior si el índice del nuevo viewcontroller es mayor que el anterior. De lo contrario, la dirección es hacia abajo.

class TabScrollPageAnimationController: NSObject, UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning {

    let tabBarController: UITabBarController

    init(tabBarController: UITabBarController) {
        self.tabBarController = tabBarController
    }

    func transitionDuration(transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) -> NSTimeInterval {
        return 0.5
    }

    func animateTransition(transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) {
        if let fromVC = transitionContext.viewControllerForKey(UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey),
            let toVC = transitionContext.viewControllerForKey(UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey) {
                let fromView = fromVC.view
                let toView = toVC.view

                let containerView = transitionContext.containerView()

                var directionUpwardMultiplier: CGFloat = 1.0
                if let vcs = tabBarController.viewControllers as? [UIViewController],
                    let fIndex = find(vcs, fromVC),
                    let tIndex = find(vcs, toVC) {
                        directionUpwardMultiplier = (fIndex < tIndex) ? +1.0 : -1.0
                }

                containerView.clipsToBounds = false
                containerView.addSubview(toView)

                var fromViewEndFrame = fromView.frame
                fromViewEndFrame.origin.y -= (containerView.frame.height * directionUpwardMultiplier)

                let toViewEndFrame = transitionContext.finalFrameForViewController(toVC)
                var toViewStartFrame = toViewEndFrame
                toViewStartFrame.origin.y += (containerView.frame.height * directionUpwardMultiplier)
                toView.frame = toViewStartFrame

                toView.alpha = 0.0
                UIView.animateWithDuration(transitionDuration(transitionContext), delay: 0.0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1.0, initialSpringVelocity: 0.0, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.CurveEaseInOut, animations: { () -> Void in
                    toView.alpha = 1.0
                    toView.frame = toViewEndFrame
                    fromView.alpha = 0.0
                    fromView.frame = fromViewEndFrame
                }, completion: { (completed) -> Void in
                    toView.alpha = 1.0
                    fromView.removeFromSuperview()
                    transitionContext.completeTransition(completed)
                    containerView.clipsToBounds = true
                })

        }
    }

}

En el Container ViewController:

extension XYViewController: UITabBarControllerDelegate {

    func tabBarController(tabBarController: UITabBarController, animationControllerForTransitionFromViewController fromVC: UIViewController, toViewController toVC: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
        return TabScrollPageAnimationController(tabBarController: tabBarController)
    }

}

Aquí está mi solución Swift 3:

Anulo selectedIndex de mi UITabBarViewController así:

override var selectedIndex: Int{
    get{
        return super.selectedIndex
    }
    set{
        animateToTab(toIndex: newValue)
        super.selectedIndex = newValue
    }
}

Luego utilizo esta función que imita la animación push / pop nativa:

func animateToTab(toIndex: Int) {
    guard let tabViewControllers = viewControllers, tabViewControllers.count > toIndex, let fromViewController = selectedViewController, let fromIndex = tabViewControllers.index(of: fromViewController), fromIndex != toIndex else {return}

    view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

    let toViewController = tabViewControllers[toIndex]
    let push = toIndex > fromIndex
    let bounds = UIScreen.main.bounds

    let offScreenCenter = CGPoint(x: fromViewController.view.center.x + bounds.width, y: toViewController.view.center.y)
    let partiallyOffCenter = CGPoint(x: fromViewController.view.center.x - bounds.width*0.25, y: fromViewController.view.center.y)

    if push{
        fromViewController.view.superview?.addSubview(toViewController.view)
        toViewController.view.center = offScreenCenter
    }else{
        fromViewController.view.superview?.insertSubview(toViewController.view, belowSubview: fromViewController.view)
        toViewController.view.center = partiallyOffCenter
    }

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: .curveEaseIn, animations: {
        toViewController.view.center   = fromViewController.view.center
        fromViewController.view.center = push ? partiallyOffCenter : offScreenCenter
    }, completion: { finished in
        fromViewController.view.removeFromSuperview()
        self.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    })
}

Espero que ayude :)

una solución para la animación nerviosa ...

UIView * fromView = self.view.superview;

esto se puede solucionar de dos formas

1 - Escriba esto en su archivo AppDelegate.m una vez. Recuerde incluir UITabBarControllerDelegate usando <> después de dos puntos (:) en su AppDelegate.h

-(void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarControllerThis didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
    [UIView transitionWithView:viewController.view
                      duration:0.1
                       options:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction | UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCrossDissolve
                    animations:^(void){
                    } completion:^(BOOL finished){
                        [UIView beginAnimations:@"animation" context:nil];
                        [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.7];
                        [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
                        [UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft
                                               forView:viewController.view
                                                 cache:NO];
                        [UIView commitAnimations];
                    }];
}

2 - Escriba esto en cada uno de sus archivos ViewController.m

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [UIView transitionWithView:self.view
                      duration:1.0
                       options:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction | UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCrossDissolve
                    animations:^(void){
                        [super viewWillAppear:YES];
                    } completion:^(BOOL finished){
                    }];
}

espero que esto ayude...!

Puede animar según el elemento seleccionado: en este ejemplo, volteamosFromLeft si el índice tocado es> que el índice seleccionado anteriormente y volteamosFromRight si el índice tocado es <que el índice seleccionado anteriormente. Esto es Swift 4: Implemente el método UITabBarControllerDelegate

func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelect viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {

    let fromView: UIView = tabBarController.selectedViewController!.view
    let toView: UIView = viewController.view

    if fromView == toView {
        return false
    }

    if let tappedIndex = tabBarController.viewControllers?.index(of: viewController) {
        if tappedIndex > tabBarController.selectedIndex {
            UIView.transition(from: fromView, to: toView, duration: 0.5, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.transitionFlipFromLeft, completion: nil)
        } else {
            UIView.transition(from: fromView, to: toView, duration: 0.5, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.transitionFlipFromRight, completion: nil)
        }
    }
    return true
}

La respuesta de drekka es realmente genial. Modifiqué un poco la transición de desplazamiento para que la animación se pareciera más a la animación push de Apple. Agregué una animación adicional al completar la primera animación para que el efecto de deslizamiento se vea bien.

// Disable interaction during animation to avoids bugs.
self.tabBarController.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

// Get the views.
UIView * fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController.view;
UIView * toView = [[tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:controllerIndex] view];

// Get the size of the view area.
CGRect viewSize = fromView.frame;
BOOL scrollRight = controllerIndex > tabBarController.selectedIndex;

// Add the to view to the tab bar view.
[fromView.superview addSubview:toView];
[fromView.superview addSubview:fromView];

self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = 0;

// Position it off screen.
toView.frame = CGRectMake((scrollRight ? (viewSize.size.width *.25) : -(viewSize.size.width * .25 )), viewSize.origin.y, viewSize.size.width, viewSize.size.height);

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 
             animations: ^{
                 // Animate the views on and off the screen.
                 [UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];

Quería usar una transición de giro entre dos controladores de vista infantil al presionar un botón y lo logré de la siguiente manera:

-(IBAction)flipViewControllers:(id)sender{
    NSUInteger index = self.selectedIndex;
    index++;
    if(index >= self.childViewControllers.count){
        index = 0;
    }

    self.selectedIndex = index;

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75];
    [UIView setAnimationTransition:index % 2 ? UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft : UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight
                           forView:self.view
                             cache:YES];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

También configuré el color de fondo en negro, en mi caso lo hice configurando navigationController.view.backgroundColor pero en su caso podría ser window.backgroundColor que se puede configurar fácilmente en el delegado de la aplicación.

Aquí está mi código de trabajo ( para 3 pestañas , ¡no lo he probado en más!) Para animar las transiciones entre pestañas. Se basa principalmente en la solución de drekka, pero ya está implementado en el método de delegado de la barra de pestañas, por lo que debería hacer el trabajo si solo lo copia / pega ... (¡nunca se sabe!)

-(BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {

// Important! We validate that the selected tab is not the current tab, to avoid misplacing views
if (tabBarController.selectedViewController == viewController) {
    return NO;
}

// Find the selected view's index
NSUInteger controllerIndex = 0;
for (UIViewController *vc in tabBarController.viewControllers) {
    if (vc == viewController) {
        controllerIndex = [tabBarController.viewControllers indexOfObject:vc];
    }
}

CGFloat screenWidth = SCREEN_SIZE.width;

// Note: We must invert the views according to the direction of the scrolling ( FROM Left TO right or FROM right TO left )
UIView * fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController.view;
UIView * toView = viewController.view;

[fromView.superview addSubview:toView];
CGRect fromViewInitialFrame = fromView.frame;
CGRect fromViewNewframe = fromView.frame;

CGRect toViewInitialFrame = toView.frame;

if ( controllerIndex > tabBarController.selectedIndex ) {
// FROM left TO right ( tab0 to tab1 or tab2 )

    // The final frame for the current view. It will be displaced to the left
    fromViewNewframe.origin.x = -screenWidth;
    // The initial frame for the new view. It will be displaced to the left
    toViewInitialFrame.origin.x = screenWidth;
    toView.frame = toViewInitialFrame;

} else {
// FROM right TO left ( tab2 to tab1 or tab0 )

    // The final frame for the current view. It will be displaced to the right
    fromViewNewframe.origin.x = screenWidth;
    // The initial frame for the new view. It will be displaced to the right
    toViewInitialFrame.origin.x = -screenWidth;
    toView.frame = toViewInitialFrame;
}

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 animations:^{
    // The new view will be placed where the initial view was placed
    toView.frame = fromViewInitialFrame;
    // The initial view will be place outside the screen bounds
    fromView.frame = fromViewNewframe;

    tabBarController.selectedIndex = controllerIndex;

    // To prevent user interaction during the animation
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginIgnoringInteractionEvents];

} completion:^(BOOL finished) {

    // Before removing the initial view, we adjust its frame to avoid visual lags
    fromView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, fromView.frame.size.width, fromView.frame.size.height);
    [fromView removeFromSuperview];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] endIgnoringInteractionEvents];
}];

return NO;

}

Esto me funciona en Swift 3:

func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelect viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {

    if let fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController?.view, let toView = viewController.view {

        if fromView == toView {
            return false
        }

        UIView.transition(from: fromView, to: toView, duration: 0.2, options: .transitionCrossDissolve) { (finished) in
        }
    }

    return true
}

La respuesta de @ samwize se actualizó para Swift 5:

Si desea que todos los cambios de pestaña tengan la animación, utilice un UITabBarControllerDelegate e implemente este método:

func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelect viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {
  let tabViewControllers = tabBarController.viewControllers!
  guard let toIndex = tabViewControllers.indexOf(value:viewController) else {
    return false
  }
  animateToTab(toIndex: toIndex, fadeOutFromView: false, fadeInToView: false)
  return true
}

Cambie programáticamente la pestaña con animación llamando a animateToTab:

func animateToTab(toIndex: Int, fadeOutFromView: Bool, fadeInToView: Bool) {
  let tabViewControllers = viewControllers!
  let fromView = selectedViewController!.view
  let toView = tabViewControllers[toIndex].view
  let fromIndex = tabViewControllers.indexOf(value:selectedViewController!)
  guard fromIndex != toIndex else {return}

  // Add the toView to the tab bar view
  fromView!.superview!.addSubview(toView!)

  // Position toView off screen (to the left/right of fromView)
  let screenWidth = UIScreen.main.bounds.width
  let scrollRight = toIndex > fromIndex!;
  let offset = (scrollRight ? screenWidth : -screenWidth)
  toView!.center = CGPoint(x: fromView!.center.x + offset, y: toView!.center.y)

  // Disable interaction during animation
  view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
  if fadeInToView {
    toView!.alpha = 0.1
  }

  UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0.0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: [.curveEaseOut], animations: {

    if fadeOutFromView {
      fromView!.alpha = 0.0
    }

    if fadeInToView {
      toView!.alpha = 1.0
    }

    // Slide the views by -offset
    fromView!.center = CGPoint(x: fromView!.center.x - offset, y: fromView!.center.y);
    toView!.center   = CGPoint(x: toView!.center.x - offset, y: toView!.center.y);

  }, completion: { finished in
    // Remove the old view from the tabbar view.
    fromView!.removeFromSuperview()
    self.selectedIndex = toIndex
    self.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
  })
}

Rápido 4+

Tu UITabBarControllerDelegatemétodo debería ser así,

func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelect viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {

    animateToTab(toIndex: (tabBarController.viewControllers?.index(of: viewController))!)
    return true
}

Y el método es,

func animateToTab(toIndex: Int) {
    let tabViewControllers = viewControllers!
    let fromView = selectedViewController!.view
    let toView = tabViewControllers[toIndex].view
    let fromIndex = tabViewControllers.index(of: selectedViewController!)

    guard fromIndex != toIndex else {return}

    // Add the toView to the tab bar view
    fromView!.superview!.addSubview(toView!)

    // Position toView off screen (to the left/right of fromView)
    let screenWidth = UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width;
    let scrollRight = toIndex > fromIndex!;
    let offset = (scrollRight ? screenWidth : -screenWidth)
    toView!.center = CGPoint(x: fromView!.center.x + offset, y: toView!.center.y)

    // Disable interaction during animation
    view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0.0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.curveEaseOut, animations: {

        // Slide the views by -offset
        fromView!.center = CGPoint(x: fromView!.center.x - offset, y: fromView!.center.y);
        toView!.center   = CGPoint(x: toView!.center.x - offset, y: toView!.center.y);

    }, completion: { finished in

        // Remove the old view from the tabbar view.
        fromView!.removeFromSuperview()
        self.selectedIndex = toIndex
        self.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    });

}
