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 ?<

Answer 1

Sure thing, and there is plenty of call for this, specifically when the popover is large enough and the point at where the arrow would point would be obscured.

There's no usability drawback whatsoever.

[pop presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:_toolbarBtnImage2
permittedArrowDirections:0 // <- pass in zero for no arrows
animated:YES];
