The solutions above no longer work in recent iOS versions 12 and above. To get it working again, override -modalPresentationStyle within the viewController to be presented as a popover and return UIModalPresentationPopover. Additionally provide a popoverPresentationController.delegate, implement adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController:traitCollection: and return UIModalPresentationNone.

@interface PopoverViewController : UIViewController
@end

@implementation PopoverViewController

- (UIModalPresentationStyle)modalPresentationStyle
{
    return UIModalPresentationPopover;
}

@end

@interface ViewController ()
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (IBAction)openPopover:(id)sender
{
    UIViewController* testVC = [[PopoverViewController alloc] init];
    testVC.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellowColor;
    UIPopoverPresentationController* popPresenter = [testVC popoverPresentationController];
    popPresenter.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp;
    popPresenter.delegate = self;
    popPresenter.sourceView = sender;
    popPresenter.sourceRect = [sender bounds];
    [self presentViewController:testVC animated:YES completion:^{}];
}

#pragma mark protocol (UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate)

- (UIModalPresentationStyle)adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController:(UIPresentationController *)controller traitCollection:(UITraitCollection *)traitCollection
{
    return UIModalPresentationNone;
}

@end
