    Hi,

    I wanted to change the image of my TabBar and wondering if this code is a private API, i guessed it was seen as the private was in it, but am i wrong?

    @interface UITabBarController (private)
    - (UITabBar *)tabBar;


    If so, is there anything that can change the background image of the TabBar without breaking any API's?

    If the method is not listed in the documentation on Apple's developer website then it's a private API.

    To expand on robbieduncan's comment, the publicly published API documents are the way to tell what is public and what isn't.

    Luckily for you, the tabBar property of a UITabBarController is public API, see: here.
