@property(nonatomic,retain) UIPopoverPresentationController *popoverPresentationController;

- (IBAction)showPopover:(id)sender {
    UIViewController *popoverViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NameViewController" bundle:nil];
    UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:popoverViewController];
    popoverViewController.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(280, 200);
    navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
    _popoverPresentationController = navigationController.popoverPresentationController;
    _popoverPresentationController.delegate = self;
    _popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view;
    _popoverPresentationController.sourceRect = [sender frame];
    navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
    navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
    [_viewController presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];

}

i depends on your needs. You can show UIPickerView, present an action sheet or segue to another VC and then go back - these are standard ways.
