Display an UIPopoverPresentationController from a UIControl?

Question

I am writing a UIControl. I need to display a popover when the user touches an area of the control. But of course the usual code:

[self presentViewController:self.popover animated:YES completion:nil];

does not work because we are in a UIControl, not in a UIViewController. How can I display a popover from a UIControl?

Answer 1

You should use rootViewController to present it.

Use UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate.window.rootViewController instead of self

[UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate.window.rootViewController presentViewController:self.popover animated:YES completion:nil];
