Seems your picker view is hidden somewhere in the pop over because the frame is not properly set yet. So try to set the frame of the picker view to be equal to the bounds of the pop over as a starting point:

pickerView.frame = popoverView.bounds;

But before adding the picker view as a subview in the pop over, you need to remove the picker view properly from the superview.

Now, by default Xcode will generate the IBOutlet as weak property, and this will cause the picker view to be deallocated when it is removed from the superview. So you will need to declare the picker view as a strong property first.

After that, you can remove it from the current superview:

[pickerView removeFromSuperview];

You should keep a reference to the pop over view controller, for example declaring it is a property, and call dismissPopoverAnimated to dismiss the pop over properly.
