uitabbarcontroller - How to hide tab bar with animation in iOS?

Question

So I have a button that is connected to a IBAction. When I press the button I want to hide the tab bar in my iOS app with a animation. This [self setTabBarHidden:hidden animated:NO]; or this [self.tabBarController setTabBarHidden:hidden animated:YES]; does not work. This is my code without the animation:

- (IBAction)picture1:(id)sender {
    [self.tabBarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
