Hi folks, The app I'm working on has 4 tabs, 3 of which share many features, including a navigation bar a the bottom with Back, Edit, and Map buttons.

I was following this tutorial, and I noticed that the "finished" product (first picture in that link) doesn't look like the GUI built through the steps. Why is that? I mean, when I click on the preview button, the GUI looks native (nice) as well. It's just when it's deployed that i...
