What it is
A short 2011 Xcode tutorial showing how to display a UIPopover on the iPhone, a control normally limited to the iPad, by overriding a private UIPopoverController method that disables popovers. The presenter, Maximilian Litteral, credits the snippet to @hamzasood and warns that Apple may reject apps that use it.

There are a lot of tutorials that use popover for iphone, you do not have to use third party libraries. Follow this tutorial on youtube [this video]

It is called a Popover control on iPad, on iPhone I think it does not come by default, but you can implement it using some 3-rd libraries, like: [LINK] Check out this video: [this video] and see the description that Apple may reject the app if you are using the standard one because it is made to use for the iPad by the iOS SDK. But if you create your custom one for iPhone, I think it should be fine.

I saw this video on youtube where, in objective-c he was able to override the _popoversDisabled method and allow them to be displayed on iPhones. My Question is, how would I do the same thing in monotouch as shown as below: This code was written by @hamzasood =============================== =====popover code=========== ============================= @interface UIPopoverController (overrides) + (BOOL)_popoversDisabled; @end @implementation UIPopoverController (overrides) + (BOOL)_popoversDisabled { return NO; } @end Objective-C video tutorial here: [this video]

pop = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverView]; pop.delegate = self; //optional CGSize size = CGSizeMake(300, 100); // size of view in popover…V2 pop.popoverContentSize = size; [pop presentPopoverFromRect:control.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES]; Youtube link: [this video] It works fine in simulator, but crashes when running on iPhone. I can easily get so many articles to implement on iPad, but on iPhone couldn't find a fruitful one. Plz help

Cites Sèb · 2013-10 · Stack Overflow · on “Popover view for iPhone using XCode 5”
I wanted to reuse the popover for iPhone described in this video [this video] which is exactly what I need. The problem is that I couldn't bind a UIViewController property to the popover's UIViewController like in the video. One difference with the video is that it has been made using XCode 4.2 and I'm using XCode 5. So the question is: How to make a popover for iPhone like in the video [this video] on XCode 5? Here is the XCode 5 project I am struggling with. [LINK]
