[Swift5]コードオンリーのUITabBarController

Main.storyboardは削除した状態が前提です。

まずはUITabBarControllerを継承したクラスを作ります。ここでは"TabController"

class TabController: UITabBarController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        var viewControllers = [UIViewController]()

        let firstViewController = FirstViewController()
        firstViewController.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(tabBarSystemItem: .mostRecent, tag: 1)
        viewControllers.append(firstViewController)

        let seccondViewController = SeccondViewController()
        seccondViewController.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(tabBarSystemItem: .mostRecent, tag: 2)
        viewControllers.append(seccondViewController)

        let thirdViewController = ThirdViewController()
        thirdViewController.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(tabBarSystemItem: .mostRecent, tag: 3)
        viewControllers.append(thirdViewController)

        self.setViewControllers(viewControllers, animated: false)
        self.selectedIndex = 1
    }
}

続いてSceneDelegateでTabControllerを初期画面に設定

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
        guard let _ = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }

        guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
        let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
        self.window = window

        window.rootViewController = TabController()
        window.makeKeyAndVisible()
    }

あとはFirstVC, SeccondVC, ThirdVCをお好きなようにカスタマイズしてください。
