Implementing Designs for iPhone, stage 3 | Customizing Table View Controllers

_setFinishedSelectedImage has been deprecated in iOS 7.0.

The original code:

[tabInbox setFinishedSelectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@“inbox”] withFinishedUnselectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@“inbox”]];

I believe can be replaced with the following (though I’m not entirely sure!!!) 

UITabBar *tabBar = tabBarController.tabBar;

    UITabBarItem * tabInbox = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];
    UITabBarItem * tabFriends = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1];
    UITabBarItem * tabCamera = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2];

    tabInbox.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"inbox"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
    tabInbox.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"inbox"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

    tabFriends.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"friends"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
    tabFriends.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"friends"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

    tabCamera.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"camera"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
    tabCamera.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"camera"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

Please let me know if I was/am off. It’d be great to know what needs to be changed.

Thanks!
