swift - How to set top left and right corner radius with desired drop shadow in UITabbar?

Question

I've spent almost a couple of hours to figure it out. However, it did not happen and finally, I had to come here. Two things are required to be achieved:

Firstly I'd like to have a spontaneous corner radius at the top (which is basically TopRight & TopLeft) of UITabbar.

Secondly, I'd like to have a shadow above those corner radius(shown in below image).

Please have a look at below image

Let me know if anything further required from my side, I'll surely provide that.

Any help will be appreciated.

One more little question arose here along, suppose, Even if, However, we were able to accomplish this, Would Apple review team accept the application? I'm being little nervous and curious about it.
