Fix UIPopoverController deprecated issue for custom class for iOS 9 - ios

Question

I've a project where I've created a custom UIPopoverController class and used in several parts of my project but now from iOS 9 UIPopoverController is deprecated. I want to know if there is any easy way that I can modify my existing popoverclass so that the other parts where I've used it remain unchanged or has minimum changes. Below is the custom class that I've created.
**myCustomPopover.h file**

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#interface myCustomPopover : UIPopoverController
#property (readonly) UIColor *tintColor;

#end

I've tried to change the subclass to UIPopoverPresentationController but has some errors like no interface for initWithContentViewController. Is this the right way to approach?

Answer 1

You have to use the modalPresentationStyle of view controller to UIModalPresentationPopover.

Answer 2

no need, to worry. we have fppopover
that need needs uiviewcontroller, then show that like popover.
No need to custom youself.
