Make Popups With Cocoa Touch

Question

I'm trying to make a popup like in "Camera+" or "Tweetbot" (like this one : Tweetbot or this one Camera+). How can I do this ?

I think you're looking for something that doesn't exist as standard. It looks to me as though those images were made specifically. — James Webster, Sep 01 '11 at 15:44

That component is generally called a Popover or a Callout. Apple provides you with an Implementation on the iPad (UIPopover) but not on the iPhone.

There are a few Libraries which attempts to solve this and creates similar popovers like the ones you've shown. With a bit of customisation you can get it to look like this ones you've linked. Below is a list of the ones i've found so far:

From iOS 8 on, you can use `UIPopoverPresentationController` for iPhones as well as iPads. See [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/32295641/3681880) for some links. – Suragch Aug 30 '15 at 11:13

There's similar question here: iPhone popup menu like iPad popover?.

There is a solution. It's called WEPopover and you can download it from github.
