An early attempt at pulling over the UIPopoverController control for iPhone. As you can tell by the classes, this CLOSELY mimics the UIPopoverController and UIPopoverBackgroundView interfaces to facilitate interoperability between classes.
This does not have all of the bells and whistles of the UIPopoverController yet, but I'm going to be tackling them as I see fit, or as you see fit if you'd like to contribute a patch.
I did this half as an exercise of deconstructing the popover control itself, and half out of frustration that Apple is allowed to use them on iPhone apps and I am not. Basically, I got pissed and went HAM on some code.
BMPopoverController.h and .m are the only classes you need to copy into your project.
As with the supplied UIPopoverController when you rotate you are probably better of dismissing the given popover and representing it as the rects you are presenting from may have moved.
This project is ARC based, and it requires QuartzCore to build.
The other sample popover in the project was originally written by Scianski for an article that can be found here.
Feel free to open an issue and be detailed as to the weirdness you're experiencing. Or! Fork the repo, make a topic branch, and send me a pull request. Any work you do, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE test it on iPad and iPhone :) Feel free to drop me a line on Twitter as well, @brianmichel
