The challenge states The tabs are stored in an array named tabBarItems (line 9). Declare a UITabBarItem variable named tab and set it from tabBarItems using the selectedIndex property.

this is what you have

UITabBarItem *tab = [self.selectedIndex.tabBarItems];

that wont work because your selectedIndex property doesnt have a property tabBarItems. The tabBarItems array is already declared for you on line 9. you need to set your UITabBarItem *tab to an index of this array (your selectedIndex).

Here is a hint: I can set my tab to the first index of my tabBarItems array like so:

UITabBarItem *tab = [tabBarItems objectAtIndex:0];

in your case you need to set it to the selectedIndex, not the first index.
