Interacting with contents of UIPopoverPresentationController on regular sized iPhones? - ios

Question

It appears - at least by default, that while you can interact with the contents of a popover on a plus iPhone and dismiss it by tapping on the background, on a regular, non plus phone, the behavior is the opposite.
Does anyone know how to correct and/or configure this so that you can interact with a popover on an regular iPhone?
I have a sample that demonstrates the problem here:
https://github.com/chrisco314/iPhone-Popover-Test,
but the relevant code is:
class PresentingViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
configure()
}
func configure() {
view.addSubview(button)
view.backgroundColor = .white
button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
button.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 50).isActive = true
}
lazy var button: UIButton = {
let button = UIButton()
button.layer.cornerRadius = 10
button.contentEdgeInsets = .init(top: 8, left: 8, bottom: 8, right: 8)
button.backgroundColor = .blue
button.setTitle("Show popover", for: .normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(didTap(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return button
}()
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#objc func didTap(sender: UIButton) {
let presented = PresentedViewController()
presented.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
let popover = presented.popoverPresentationController!
popover.delegate = self
popover.sourceRect = sender.bounds
popover.sourceView = sender
popover.permittedArrowDirections = .up
popover.backgroundColor = popover.presentedViewController.view.backgroundColor
self.present(presented, animated: true, completion: {})
}
}
extension PresentingViewController: UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
return .none
}
}
class PresentedViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
configure()
}
func configure() {
view.backgroundColor = .green
view.addSubview(text)
text.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
view.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: text.rightAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
text.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 50).isActive = true
view.bottomAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualTo: text.bottomAnchor, constant: 50).isActive = true
}
lazy var text: UITextField = {
let view = UITextField()
view.text = "Placeholder"
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.backgroundColor = .blue
return view
}()
}
Thanks!

I am thinking now that this might have been a simulator problem. I had seen this on my main project, a separate sample, and then wrote a new cleaner sample for public consumption. I then switched back and forth between different versions of the simulator and it started working again.
Weird.
