title: Use Storyboard References While Retaining Icons & Text for Tab Bar Controller
body: <p>I started refactoring one of my projects to make the code easier to manage and the Tab Bar Controller lost its icons for which tab represents what. Without this I'm a bit lost which tab is what for re-ordering purposes.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How do I get the icons to show up again for a tab bar controller when I'm using storyboard references?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Refer to my attached image.  Notice how the first 3 tabs are 'blank' but the other tabs that I have not refactored yet show with the icons and titles.</p>
  
  <p>For those unfamiliar with storyboard references I was following the tutorial here: <a href="http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ios-9-staying-organized-with-storyboard-references--cms-24226" rel="noreferrer">http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ios-9-staying-organized-with-storyboard-references--cms-24226</a></p>
