UISplitViewController Detail View Drop shadow

Question

I'm trying to set a shadow on my UISplitViewController's Detail View, that I want to be visible over the Master View, in iOS 6.

In my Detail ViewController:

 self.view.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
 self.view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-3.0f, 0.0f);
 self.view.layer.shadowRadius = 3.0f;
 self.view.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0f;
 self.view.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
 self.view.clipsToBounds = NO;

However, the SplitVC automatically clips its sub-views, even when I set it to NO in the above code, and there is no shadow.

Can anyone let me know the correct way to achieve this?

Answer 1

The best way I found to do this is to add a 1px view to the master view controller and snap it to the right edge and apply a shadow to that view instead.
