UIDatePicker shows fine in iPhone but it doesn't in iPad

Question

I'm showing a UIDatePicker in an UITableViewController and it looks fine. When a segue the same controller as a popover the UIDatePicker doesn't look good.

I put the UIDatePicker inside a UITableViewController.

This one is from the iPhone And this one is from the iPad

Answer 1

Your iPad picker looks just fine. I think there is another view covering a part of it. Try this in the debugger:

po [self.view recursiveDescription]

and see if you can find the view in this way.

Answer 2

I can reproduce this problem when all of the following are true:

• The date picker is inside a table view cell
• The table view controller is being presented modally
• The modal presentation style is 'Form sheet'
• The device is an iPad

The best workaround I have found is to change the modal presentation style. 'Page sheet' works fine, for example.

This seems like an OS bug.
