[Solved] Chp 42: Popover (non) Issue

[iosdevelopr]

Under the section “Do not allow two popovers to be open at the same time” we ran the function:

splitViewController(_ svc: UISplitViewController, willChangeTo displayMode: UISplitViewControllerDisplayMode)

in order to prevent the popover on the right and the master pane on the left. I couldn’t get both popovers to display before or after adding the code on page 1063-1064. Fairly specific question but: is this something that is no longer able to happen in a later version of Xcode? Does split view controller auto-prevent you from having more than one popover at a time?

The issue with more than one popup displaying at the same time was present with the beta version of iOS 11 that I was working with when the book was written. But as you mention, that seems to no longer happen with iOS 11.2 since I can’t reproduce this issue now either. So you do not have to implement the UISplitViewControllerDelegate as per pages 1063 and 1064 and your app would work fine

Good to know. Thanks for the quick response!
