UIPopoverController presented modally doesn't work in iOS 5

Question

First of all, can we talk about iOS 5 here? Or is it still under NDA? If we can't talk about it, just ignore my question.

By testing my app with an iPad with iOS 5 installed I discovered a problem with my "modal" popover: This can be closed by tapping outside of it, in other words, it's not modal! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

A view controller opens the popover with this code:

AddProjectViewController *addProjectViewController = [[AddProjectViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
[addProjectViewController setDelegate:self];

UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addProjectViewController];
[addProjectViewController release];

CGRect popoverFrame = [sender frame];

UIPopoverController *tempPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navController];
[tempPopover presentPopoverFromRect:popoverFrame inView:[self view] permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
self.currentPopover = tempPopover;
[tempPopover release];
[navController release];

The view controller that's inside of the popover has this line in it's viewDidLoad.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [self setModalInPopover:YES];

    // Do other stuff
}

Is there anything missing?

Answer 1

I found it. The setModalInPopover assignment must be inside of the viewDidAppear method of the embedded view controller for the popover to be modal:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    [self setModalInPopover:YES];
}
