I am using UAModalPanel to create a popover controller effect. I can get the popver box to display, but I am struggling to figure out how to create a view (graphically, in storyboard), instantiate that view in code, and add it to the UAModalPanel.
What I've Tried
That's it. Surely there is a way that I can make a view in storyboard, have it make a sub-class of UIView which I can then grab in code where I need to use it? Instead of laying it out in code?

Unless you need the segues you may better off creating a standalone XIB
Layout the view as you need, set its Class to your own (MyCustomView) then instantiate like this
NSArray *nib=[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MyCustomView" owner:self options:nil];
MyCustomView *view = (MyCustomView*)[nib objectAtIndex:0];
As long as your view is the first/only object in the XIB this will instantiate the view for you

In storyboards you'll want to drag and drop a new UIViewController
then give it an identifier here:
Then in code you can get the view property of this view controller with the following:
UIViewController *myController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myIDfromTheLastStep"];
Now you can get the conrollers view property and make adjustments. Here's an example of frame change
[myController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 320)];
