Related to the previous post on this thread, I have a SlideTabBar that contains a TabBar. It's placed at the bottom of the screen.
When I run the app, the tab appears at bottom, as it should, and when I tap it, it reveals the TabBar, as it should, but the tab itself disappears, apparently behind the view that's above it on the Y-axis (not the Z-axis). However, when I look at the frames and views in "Reveal" it shows that the tab is in fact in front of any views in the Z-order, hence the tab itself should not be obscured by any views above it on the Y-axis, yet that is what's happening visually...
Why does the tab itself apparently slide out of view when tapped to reveal its managed content view?
Ok, I think I figured it out.
I wasn't using the SlideTabView.contentAreaView to put my main view inside.
I didn't realize the SlideTabView in my case would consume the whole screen, using my main portion (above it on the Y-Axis) as a subview.
You are correct, the IGSlideTabView is meant to be used like a container and views should be added to the contentAreaView. This is to help manage padding and view placement.
