NSPopover dismissal does not remove it from parent's presentedViewControllers (Xcode 11)

Using Xcode 11 & macOS 10.15, I have a ParentViewController that presents a PopoverViewController in .transient mode (= clicking outside the popover dismisses it).

When the user clicks outside the Popover, it is properly dismissed and the PopoverViewController is properly removed from ParentViewController.presentedViewControllers. --> OK

BUT, I have a button inside the popover that calls self.dismiss(self). The Popover is dissmised but not removed from ParentViewController.presentedViewControllers. --> PROBLEM

I do not think I've had this problem before.

Am I missing something here, or is this a bug in AppKit?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Solution

  • Nevermind, I was doing it wrong.

    As the documentation says, you have to call the dismiss from the presenting view controller.

    Thus using self.presentingViewController?.dismiss(self) in the presented view controller solved the issue.
