Swap between UISplitViewController allowed?

I have a need for two UISplitViewController in my app and i am switching back and forth between them using rootViewController swap. Are there any risks in getting the app approved ?

thanks

  • All rules that are used during app review are described in App Store Review Guidelines.
    Point 10. User interface has such rules:

    10.1 Apps must comply with all terms and conditions explained in the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
    10.3 Apps that do not use system provided items, such as buttons and icons, correctly and as described in the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines may be rejected.

    iOS Human Interface Guidelines have such rules for Split View Controllers:

    1. Avoid creating a secondary pane that is narrower than the primary pane.
    2. Avoid displaying a navigation bar in both panes at the same time.
    3. In general, indicate the current selection in the primary pane in a persistent way.
    4. Give people alternative ways to access the primary pane, if appropriate.

    As you see it says nothing about switching between different objects of UISplitViewController. You will be good as you are not trying to display both split controllers at the same time.
