Swift UIAlertController -> ActionSheet iPad iOS8 Crashes
Solution 1
The error message is telling you that you need to give the alert controller's popoverPresentationController
a location so that it can position itself properly. This is easy to do -- just check to see if there's a popover controller and add the sender as the source.
If your button is a UIBarButtonItem
:
if let popoverController = alertController.popoverPresentationController {
popoverController.barButtonItem = sender
}
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Otherwise:
if let popoverController = alertController.popoverPresentationController {
popoverController.sourceView = sender
popoverController.sourceRect = sender.bounds
}
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Solution 2
try this
alertController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view
Solution 3
If you want to present it in the centre with no arrows on iPads [Swift 3+]:
if let popoverController = alertController.popoverPresentationController {
popoverController.sourceView = self.view
popoverController.sourceRect = CGRect(x: self.view.bounds.midX, y: self.view.bounds.midY, width: 0, height: 0)
popoverController.permittedArrowDirections = []
}
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Solution 4
Nate Cook is totally right however I would do it so I detect if it is iPad or iPhone.
This is for barButtonItem
:
if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.pad ){
if let currentPopoverpresentioncontroller = alertController.popoverPresentationController{
currentPopoverpresentioncontroller.barButtonItem = sender as! UIBarButtonItem
currentPopoverpresentioncontroller.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection.down;
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}else{
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Solution 5
var actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: "Please Select Camera or Photo Library", message: "", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.pad ){
actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: "Please Select Camera or Photo Library", message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)
}
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Upload a Photo", style: .default, handler: { (UIAlertAction) in
self.openPhotoLibrary()
}))
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Take a Photo", style: .default, handler: { (UIAlertAction) in
self.openCamera()
}))
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
self.present(actionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)

currently i'm running into big trouble with my ActionSheet. On iPhone it works great, but on iPad it only crashes
I create a new project with only one button
import UIKit extension ViewController : UIActionSheetDelegate { func actionSheet(actionSheet: UIActionSheet, didDismissWithButtonIndex buttonIndex: Int) { if actionSheet.tag == 0 { if buttonIndex == 1 { // doing something for "product page" } else if (buttonIndex == 2) { // doing something for "video" } } } } class ViewController: UIViewController, UIActionSheetDelegate { @IBAction func test(sender: AnyObject) { let systemVersion: NSInteger = (UIDevice.currentDevice().systemVersion as NSString).integerValue if systemVersion < 8 { // iOS7: let action:UIActionSheet = UIActionSheet(title: "Change Map Type", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "Back", destructiveButtonTitle: nil, otherButtonTitles: "Product Page", "Video") action.tag = 0 action.showInView(self.view) } else { // iOS8: let alertController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Change Map Type", message: nil, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.ActionSheet) let cancelAction: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Back", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel, handler: nil) let button1action: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Product Page", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) -> () in // doing something for "product page" }) let button2action: UIAlertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Video", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) -> () in // doing something for "video" }) alertController.addAction(cancelAction) alertController.addAction(button1action) alertController.addAction(button2action) self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil) } } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. } }
As i said on the iphone it works, but if i click the button on iPad the App crashes with

Xerion about 9 yearswith swift 1.2, it's now required to do: popoverController.sourceView = sender as! UIView
-
Ashok R almost 8 years
popoverController.sourceRect = sender.bounds
makes ActionSheet to appear on top left corner of the iPad. Instead you can usepopoverController.sourceRect = sender.frame
-
leafcutter over 6 years
sender.bounds
works ok for me - sourceRect is 'The rectangle in the specified view in which to anchor the popover'. I take that to mean it is in the coordinate space of the sourceView and hence .bounds -
Dale almost 6 yearsSomething like this solved my problem. I did the
.barButtonItem = sender
assignment, but instead ofpermittedArrowDirections
, I used.sourceRect = sender.accessibilityFrame
.
