Hi together,

I need to use a popoverPresentation controller in my universal app. This works great for the iPad. But on the iPhone it's always presented modal in full screen. How to force a popoverPresentationController on the iPhone?

Hi Walter

This should be possible by supplying a delegate for the popover presentation controller that implements - adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController:. Your implementation should return UIModalPresentationNone.

Hi Justin!

I had some issues trying to display UIPopoverPresentationController on iPhone not in full screen, as you suggested to use adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController: , it really helped, but the problem is that you have to implement

- (void)presentViewController:(UIViewController *)viewControllerToPresent animated: (BOOL)flag completion:(void (^ __nullable)(void))completion NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(5_0);

only after you you get the popover presentation controller and configure it. While in documentation it's said that you have to implement it before the configuration.

// Present the view controller using the popover style.
myPopoverViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
[self presentViewController:myPopoverViewController animated: YES completion: nil];
// Get the popover presentation controller and configure it.
UIPopoverPresentationController *presentationController = 
[myPopoverViewController popoverPresentationController]; 
presentationController.permittedArrowDirections = 
UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft | UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight; 
presentationController.sourceView = myView; 
presentationController.sourceRect = sourceRect;

If we present the popover before the UIPopoverPresentationController setup it'll be presented modal in full screen, I had spent a long time before I could understand what was the problem, don't you think you should mention it in documentation? Thanks!
