Multiple lines in UITabBarItem Label

More stable solution:

guard let view = tabBarItem?.value(forKey: "view") as? UIView,
        let label = (view.subviews.flatMap{ $0 as? UILabel }).first,
        let imageView = (view.subviews.flatMap{ $0 as? UIImageView }).first else { return }

this is my solution for that

we need to implement this inside viewwillLayoutSubviews. to update the ui and make it works

in this example in going to customize my 3rd tab bar item only

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    // acess to list of tab bar items
    if let items = self.tabBar.items {
        // in each item we have a view where we find 2 subviews imageview and label
        // in this example i would like to change
        // access to item view
        let viewTabBar = items[2].value(forKey: "view") as? UIView
        // access to item subviews : imageview and label
        if viewTabBar.subviews.count == 2 {
            let label = viewTabBar?.subviews[1]as? UILabel
            // here is the customization for my label 2 lines
            label?.numberOfLines = 2
            label?.textAlignment = .center
            label!.text = "tab_point".localized
            // here customisation for image insets top and bottom
            items[2].imageInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 8, left: 0, bottom: -5, right: 0)
        }
    }
}

and here is the result
