UITabBarController slide animation. Slide left and right when tabs are selected. Based on code from StackOverflow (linked in code)
- (BOOL) tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController
shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {

NSUInteger controllerIndex = [self.viewControllers indexOfObject:viewController];
if (controllerIndex == tabBarController.selectedIndex) {
return NO;
}
// Get the views.
UIView *fromView = tabBarController.selectedViewController.view;
UIView *toView = [tabBarController.viewControllers[controllerIndex] view];
// Get the size of the view area.
CGRect viewSize = fromView.frame;
BOOL scrollRight = controllerIndex > tabBarController.selectedIndex;
// Add the to view to the tab bar view.
[fromView.superview addSubview:toView];
// Position it off screen.
CGFloat screenWidth = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width;
toView.frame = CGRectMake((scrollRight ? screenWidth : -screenWidth), viewSize.origin.y, screenWidth, viewSize.size.height);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
delay:0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut
animations:^{

completion:^(BOOL finished) {

// Remove the old view from the tabbar view.
[fromView removeFromSuperview];
tabBarController.selectedIndex = controllerIndex;
}
}];
return NO;
