Solution 2

Have you tried the tint property with your custom color like

[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:0.5]];

Solution 3

There are many way but in iOS7 by default

[tabBar setTranslucent:YES]; so you got translucence backGround of tabBar But in the iOS6 you do manually

[tabBar setTranslucent:YES];

Just try it and also try with @Retro's answer and another option is

[self.tabBarController.tabBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0/255.0 green:0.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:0.6]];
