There is a very simple and legit solution. In the view controller that presents your UIPopoverController, conform to the UIPopoverControllerDelegate protocol and implement the following delegate method. I just tested this and it does prevent popover to dismiss.

- (BOOL)popoverControllerShouldDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController
{

}

Just make sure that you have set the delegate of your popover controller to the view controller that implements this.

You can dismiss the popover by using [popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:NO]; method.
