I have a hierarchy like so:

SplitViewCotrollers -

In storyboard, on iPhones (in all orientations), and when using iPad split screen with another app (see screenshot below with contacts side by side) this all works great.

However, when the iPad app has the full screen, my tab bar images are horizontal instead of vertical.

Anyone know of a way to force the tab bar to change the orientation of it's images so it's vertical? It's almost like the OS doesn't recognize that it should be using the compact traits for this mode on iPad.

Further details:

  • This is an iPad 9th Gen simulator on iOS 15.4. and is also present on a real iPad (5th gen iOS 15).
  • I am using SF Symbols for the image in the tab bar
  • I am using the technique described here so that I can have more fine grained control over whether any given view should be shown in the master nav/tab view or if it should show up in the detail view.
  • I am using .allVisible for the preferredDisplayMode, tried changing it to primary over with no luck.

  • I did stumble upon this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44822558/ios-11-uitabbar-uitabbaritem-positioning-issue which does let me override the trait collection (see some of the newer answers). Not ideal, and I'd like to understand why it isn't happening automatically, but I'll probably go that route. – Msencenb May 12 '22 at 20:15
