I've got a UITabBarController in my project that I'm creating programmatically - without a nib. I create the view controllers, initialize them, and then create an array of them and use the setViewControllers:animated: method on my tab bar controller. This works except that when it appears, my tab bar controller doesn't have anything selected. If I call [ tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1 ], then it works just fine, but if I call [ tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0 ], nothing is selected. Is this a weird bug or am I doing it wrong? This is using the iPhone SDK 3.0.

Show your code if you will, will make it easier for us to find the problem...But from not seeing anything, what I would think is wrong is that when you initialize your UITabBarButtons you are not giving any of them an index of 0...

I'm not finding that I need to initialize any UITabBarButtons or set their indices; it's taken care of automatically by the UITabBarController.

It turns out that the code was written by me a long time ago, when I did stupid things like override the -tabBarItem accessor method in the UIViewController. Moving the tab bar item customization to -initWithStyle: fixed this problem.
