UIPopoverViewController in ios7?

Question

Can anyone know please help me to solve this problem?

Answer 1

The popover in iOS7 is white and blur, from Apple:

In iOS 7, the popover background is a white blur, which means that the background of the popover’s content view can be transparent. A table view inside a popover automatically uses a translucent appearance; custom content inside a popover should use a translucent appearance.

Unfortunately Popover is not customizable, you need to use some alternative:

GIKPopoverBackgroundView

WYPopoverController

Or any other ..

Answer 2

You can use the UIPopoverBackgroundView to achieve a custom but similar effect.

There are tutorials and libraries readily available.

Answer 3

Have you tried this for ios7.0 and later?

[popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
popoverController.contentViewController.view.layer.borderWidth = 5;
popoverController.contentViewController.view.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
