I applied image tint color to TabBar. It works fine when I decrease the window width using stage manager. Also it shows proper in iPhone.

But it doesn't show orange title in compact style.

I also tried below things:

self.tabBar.tintColor = .orange
self.tabBar.unselectedItemTintColor = .gray

The only solution is to set AccentColor in Assets.xcassets. But what if I want to change different color than AccentColor?

The iPad tab bar's tint color can be customized by setting the tintColor property on UITabBarController's view.
