This may seem a difficult or simple task, depending upon what and how you want to do it.
UINavigationController is simply a controller to manage all the UIViewControllers inside it. Now, customising each and every UIViewController could be done by code or InterfaceBuilder, depending upon what you want to achieve. We will be seeing here, as to how, to customise the Navigation bar (top bar) and the Tab bar (bottom bar) of the respective UIViewController.
These are the references to look for while customising UIViewController through InterfaceBuilder.
Hide the Tab bar (bottom bar)
Happy customising.
