How to use a UISplitViewController as a Modal View Controller?

I am trying to display a UISplitViewController presenting it as a Modal View Controller in my iPad app. I manage to have it display, but for some reason there is a gap to the left of the modal view the size of a Status Bar which is also preserved when the orientation is changed.

Does anybody know why this is happening? Or if this is even possible? Maybe I'm just digging myself a huge hole.

Solution

  • The stock UISplitViewController was designed for use as the root view controller only. Presenting one modally goes against the Apple Human Interface Guidelines and has a high probability of getting rejected by the App Review Team. In addition, you may receive the error:
