This framework allows you to present just any view as an action sheet. In addition, it allows you to add actions around the presented view which behave like a button and can be tapped by the user. The result looks very much like an UIActionSheet or UIAlertController with a special UIView and some UIActions attached.
RMActionController also contains two special actions (RMImageAction and RMScrollableGroupedAction) which allow to build a share sheet which looks very much like the UIActivityViewController. In addition, RMActionController can be configured to look like the new buy sheet which can be found in the iOS 11 App Store.

pod “RMActionController”, “~> 1.3.1”
For a detailed description on how to use RMActionController take a look at the Wiki Pages. The following four steps are a very short intro:
RMActionController. Let’s create one for presenting a map and let’s call it RMMapActionController:
@interface RMMapActionController : RMActionController<MKMapView *>
@end
@implementation RMMapActionController
– (instancetype)initWithStyle:(RMActionControllerStyle)aStyle title:(NSString *)aTitle message:(NSString *)aMessage selectAction:(RMAction *)selectAction andCancelAction:(RMAction *)cancelAction {
self = [super initWithStyle:aStyle title:aTitle message:aMessage selectAction:selectAction andCancelAction:cancelAction];
if(self) {
self.contentView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
self.contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
NSDictionary *bindings = @{@”mapView”: self.contentView};
[self.contentView addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@”[mapView(>=300)]” options:0 metrics:nil views:bindings]];
[self.contentView addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@”V:[mapView(200)]” options:0 metrics:nil views:bindings]];
}
return self;
}
@end
RMActionController:
– (IBAction)openActionController:(id)sender {
RMAction *selectAction = [RMAction<MKMapView *> actionWithTitle:@”Select” style:RMActionStyleDone andHandler:^(RMActionController<MKMapView *> *controller) {
NSLog(@”Action controller selected location: %f, %f”, controller.contentView.centerCoordinate.latitude, controller.contentView.centerCoordinate.longitude);
}];
RMAction *cancelAction = [RMAction<MKMapView *> actionWithTitle:@”Cancel” style:RMActionStyleCancel andHandler:^(RMActionController<MKMapView *> *controller) {
NSLog(@”Action controller was canceled”);
}];
RMMapActionController *actionController = [RMMapActionController actionControllerWithStyle:RMActionControllerStyleWhite title:@”Test” message:@”This is a map action controller.\nPlease select a location and tap ‘Select’ or ‘Cancel’.” selectAction:selectAction andCancelAction:cancelAction];
//Now just present the action controller using the standard iOS presentation method
[self presentViewController:actionController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
@implementation RMMapActionController
– (BOOL)disableBlurEffectsForContentView {
return YES;
}
@end
See Migration on how to migrate to the latest version of RMActionController.
There is an additional documentation available provided by the CocoaPods team. Take a look at cocoadocs.org.
