If you don't want them in the tab bar then you probably shouldn't add them as a tab. Please refer to the documentation of Shell on how to use the different options: https://learn.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/shell/

@jfversluis Can you suggest how to hide/Remove the "More" option from tha shell tab bar in iOS using shell renderer

`public class CustomShellRenderer : ShellRenderer

{

protected override IShellTabBarAppearanceTracker CreateTabBarAppearanceTracker() { return new CustomTabBarAppearanceTracker();

}

}

public class CustomTabBarAppearanceTracker : IShellTabBarAppearanceTracker

{ public void SetAppearance(UITabBarController controller, ShellAppearance appearance)

{ try

{
            var count = controller.ViewControllers;

var len = controller.ViewControllers.Length;

 if (controller != null && controller.ViewControllers != null && controller.ViewControllers.Length > 4)

  {
                var items = controller.ViewControllers;

          var itemsToRemove = items.Skip(4).ToArray();

    foreach (var item in itemsToRemove)

   {

   var tabBarItem = item.TabBarItem;

           tabBarItem.Enabled = false;

   }

    }

 }

catch (Exception ex)

   {

 Console.WriteLine("Ios ERROR" + ex.ToString());

   }

}

public void Dispose() { }

  public void ResetAppearance(UITabBarController controller) { }

public void UpdateLayout(UITabBarController controller) { }

} ` I have implemented this but ViewController.TabBarItem is taking null here
