UIPopoverController with UIVisualEffectView over UISplitViewController - background is not getting blurred on iPhone 6 plus

Question

I am trying to display a popover controller over UISplitViewController.

The popover is displayed correctly. However, the visual effect view, which I have added to it, is not being displayed correctly on iPhone 6 plus (the background is not getting blurred). Here is the result which I am getting:

I have no clue how to resolve this issue.

The most similar question I was able to find is this . However, none of the solutions worked for me.

I have also tried modifying the presentation styles but it does not help as well. Setting the background for popover to clearColor also doesn't help...

I have uploaded a project to GitHub which you can find here .

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Answer 1

This is the normal behaviour, if you want to blur the background while the popup is presented, you should use UIPresentationController and it's delegates.

You can find the documentation here and a top notch tutorial here .

Here you will find an example of what you're trying to achieve.
