FPPopoverController does not pop - ios

Question

I have a problem with the implementation of FPPopover library.
I have a similar issue than on an other post : Same issue on StackOverFlow
Unfortunately, a reference to the popover controller does not fix my problem.
On my future controller, I have an UITableView dynamically loaded when the action button is clicked. This is my code:
- (IBAction)displayAlternateNicknames:(id)sender{
PXAlternativeNicknamesViewController * suggestionsVC= [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:[ViewsParamsSingleton sharedLoginSignUpStoryBoard] bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:NicknameSuggestionsStoryBoardID];
suggestionsVC.title=#"Suggestions";
suggestionsVC.nicknameSuggestions=self.nicknameSuggestions;
suggestionsVC.callerVC=self;
//our popover
suggestionsPopover = [[FPPopoverController alloc] initWithViewController:suggestionsVC];
suggestionsPopover.contentSize = CGSizeMake(200,200);
//the popover will be presented from the okButton view
[suggestionsPopover presentPopoverFromView:sender];
}

Here's my implementation that's working in production. Try this out. It may just be that you haven't set all the properties correctly.
// MyViewController.m
#interface MyViewController ()
#property(nonatomic, strong) FPPopoverController *popover;
#end
...
// Instantiate popover
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
LoginViewController *viewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"LoginViewController"];
if (self.popover) {
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:NO];
self.popover = nil;
}
self.popover = [[FPPopoverController alloc] initWithViewController:viewController];
self.popover.contentSize = viewController.size;
self.popover.border = NO;
self.popover.arrowDirection = FPPopoverNoArrow;
self.popover.tint = FPPopoverRedTint;
[self.popover presentPopoverFromView:self.loginButton];
If the problem persists, I found another answer here that might help. Essentially, you'd have to disable ARC for FPPopover. I'm not sure how to do this with Cocoapods so you may have to just copy-and-paste the library directly into your project instead. I know it's not an ideal solution, but I think it's worth a shot.
Yet another possibility is to create an instance variable of your FPPopover and reference it that way. Example:
#property (nonatomic, strong) FPPopover *popover;
...
- (FPPopover *)popover {
if(!_popover){
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
LoginViewController *viewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"LoginViewController"];
_popover.contentSize = viewController.size;
_popover.border = NO;
_popover.arrowDirection = FPPopoverNoArrow;
_popover.tint = FPPopoverRedTint;
}
return _popover;
}
...
-(void)buttonTapped:(UIButton *)sender{
[self.popover presentPopoverFromView:sender];
}
