In iOS 8 UIWebView I loaded a html page which has selection options via popover. Webview opens the native popover to show the options but the app is crashing when tapping the buttons. In iOS 7 its working fine. Following is the error message in iOS 8.

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException',
reason: 'UIPopoverPresentationController
() should have a non-nil
sourceView or barButtonItem set before the presentation occurs.'

After iOS8 you need to specify sourceView. 

#define IS_IOS_8_AND_GREATER ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8)

if (IS_IOS_8_AND_GREATER) {
        activityController.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view;
        activityController.popoverPresentationController.sourceRect = self.shareButton.frame;
}

and after that present it

[self presentViewController:activityController
                       animated:YES
                     completion:nil];

  • Thanks for the replay. In my case I don't have the button in my control to specify the SourceRect as the button is in the web view. The link specified in above post fixed my issue. – Raj kumar S.L Nov 16 '14 at 13:52
