Answer 1

You cannot use a UIPopoverController with iPhone. U will need to detect which device idiom u are using and present the appropriate viewController type at runtime.

The project here provides some examples. The basic gist of it is the following:

 if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
     /* use iPhone related viewController via either presentModal or via UIViewController containment */
 }else{
     /* Using an iPad use a popoverController */
 }

Good Luck.
