Question

I have created a project with master detail template in Xcode 4.5 and deployment target 5.1. Could someone please help me with following UISplitViewController issues please.

1. In portrait mode, master view fade in from the left. It doesn’t appear as Popover view as it used in iOS 5.0 in portrait mode. Please see attached images. How to get the master view as popover?

2. Is there anyway I can hide master view in Landscap mode?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This has been the default action since 5.1.
From the iOS 6 release notes:

In iOS 5.1, the UISplitViewController class adopts the sliding
presentation style when presenting the left view (previously seen only
in Mail). This style is used when presentation is initiated either by
the existing bar button item provided by the delegate methods or by a
swipe gesture within the right view. No additional API adoption is
required to obtain this behavior, and all existing APIs—including that
of the UIPopoverController instance provided by the delegate—will
continue to work as before.

If the gesture would be insupportable in your app, setting the
presentsWithGesture property of your split view controller to NO
disables the gesture. However, disabling the gesture is discouraged
because its use preserves a consistent user experience across all
apps.

There’s a dirty way to fix this.
