UIPopoverController, Xcode 6, IOS 8 using Swift

Question

I\'m having some trouble getting a UIPopover to appear using swift. The code that is commented out works fine in Objective-C, but doesn\'t work using Swift. When I tap the + in

Answer 1

It looks like your popover is nil. Where are you assigning/instantiating it?

Try changing this:

popover?.presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem(addBarButtonItem, permittedArrowDirections: UIPopoverArrowDirection.Any, animated: true)

To this:

if let pop = popover {
    pop.presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem(addBarButtonItem, permittedArrowDirections: UIPopoverArrowDirection.Any, animated: true)
} else {
    NSLog("Error: Popover was nil")
}

I imagine you'll see that error message in your console. In the .XIB for your PlayerInformationTableViewController, do you have a UIPopoverController?

If so, you probably need to ensure that the var popover is either (1) being manually instantiated in your awakeFromNib, or that it's an @IBOutlet and is being connected properly.

Alternatively, can you simply use the popover already present in your playerInformationViewController?
