Question

Is it possible to show master view in popover on viewDidLoad (when the view is in portrait orientation)?

Answer 1

Solution 1:

[self.popoverButtonItem.target performSelector: self.popoverButtonItem.action withObject: self.popoverButtonItem];

Solution 2:

[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:toolbarButtonItem permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:NO];                

But the trick is when to use these statements. I had to use a flag for this purpose, in order to show the popover only once on startup, and only after i have a reference to my popoverController i.e. after split view delegate method calls.
