Can I remove the arrow in the popover view?

Question

I am asked to removed the arrow of the popover view.

1. Is that violating human interface guidelines ?
2. Is it wise to show a popover inside another popover ?
3. If it is not violating human interface guidelines how to do that ?

Answer 1

For Swift

popoverMenuViewController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection(rawValue:0) 

Answer 2

Just to add some sugar and Swifty the code :

Extension:

extension UIPopoverArrowDirection {
    static var none: UIPopoverArrowDirection { UIPopoverArrowDirection(rawValue: 0) }
}

Usage:

popoverMenuViewController?.permittedArrowDirections = .none

you can change the variable's name to fits your needs.
