Change UIPopoverView background + arrow color

Question

Is there a way to simply change the UIPopoverView background color (including its arrow) on iOS8?

(I did read a couple of articles on customizing \"UIPopove

Just adding that if you are using SwiftUI inside of a UIPopover or if you are using SwiftUI's popover modifier you can set the background color of the popover by just using a Color in the background, like as in a ZStack.

If you want the arrow colored you can add the .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) modifier to the color in the background so it will extend into the arrow.

SwiftUI example:

import SwiftUI

struct PopoverTest: View {
    @State var showing: Bool = true
    var body: some View {
        Button("Show") {
            self.showing.toggle()
        }
        .popover(isPresented: $showing) {
            ZStack {
                Color.green.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) // will color background and arrow
                Text("Popover!")
            }
        }
    }
}

struct PopoverTest_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        PopoverTest()
    }
}
