Try this code:

[self.tabBarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];

where tabbarcontroller is needed to be defined...

EDIT

AppDelegateFileName *appDelegate = (AppDelegateFileName *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[appDelegate.tabbarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];

before doing this make sure that you create a @property declaration of tabbarController in appDelegate .h file.

If using Storyboards you can simply uncheck a checkbox in your ViewController's Attribute Inspector. It's called "Hide Bottom Bar on Push". Very convenient indeed, and no need to handle the showing of the tabBar again after navigating back from your tabBar-less viewController. I don't know in which XCode-version this was introduced, but it's there for XCode 6 + .

Use Tap Gesture Recognizer to detect double taps on a UIImageView. Then invoke a method on detecting the double double tap. Add the following line of code in that method.

self.tabBarController.tabBar.hidden=YES;

Hope this helps.

Use the code below to hide/show tab bar controller in animated style.
hiddenTabBar is a BOOL variable.

- (void) hidetabbar {

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.0];

    for(UIView *view in objtabbar.view.subviews)
    {

        if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])
        {

            if (hiddenTabBar) {
                [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 431, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];
            } else {
                [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 480, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];
            }
        } else {
            if (hiddenTabBar) {
                [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 431)];
            } else {
                [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 480)];
            }

        }
    }

    [UIView commitAnimations];

    hiddenTabBar = !hiddenTabBar;
}

UIViewController has a property

@property(nonatomic, readonly, retain) UITabBarController *tabBarController

which you can set:

self.tabBarController.tabBar.hidden = YES;

Swift 2.1:

self.tabBarController!.tabBar.hidden = true

Try this when you push the view to the new view:

self.tabbarconroller.tabbar.hidden = YES;

Objective-C

[self.tabBarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];

Objective-C 2.0

self.tabBarController.tabBar.hidden = YES;

Swift before iOS 9

tabBarController?.tabBar.hidden = true

Swift iOS 9 and above

tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = true

Extra trick with Swift 5 and above: if you would like to change the hidden property then toggle it

if let t = tabBarController?.tabBar {
    t.isHidden = t.!isHidden
}
// is equal to 
tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden.toggle()

Swift Solution for multiple root view controllers

If you or someone would need to hide the tab bar inside a custom controller, for an app that uses multiple rootViewController try something like this:

//instantiate appDelegate in your controller first
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate

//then just hide the tab bar as following
appDelegate.window?.rootViewController?.tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = true
