Investigate the viability / time investment of using a pop-up button behaviour instead of a bottom sheet presentation.

Investigation Results:Unfortunately, I do not think this is a viable solution for us for a number of reasons. 😔

• UIMenu has a very opinionated UI (checkmark on selected item, images are on the right side)
• UIButton and UIMenu are tightly coupled with few customization options to either
• UIMenu must be shown through the UIMenu paramter of another class (e.g. a button, or a delegate method for something like a collection view cell). In the case of a button, the behavior that adds an up/down arrow to the button title and changes the title label to the currently selected option from the menu. Since we need to completely customize the “button” we’re using, a simple UIButton won’t cut it, especially one where we can’t control its title label.

See this video for a quick demo on the behaviour:

Additional Investigation:

• I also took a brief look at UIContextMenus, but those require long press interactions ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicontextmenuinteraction ).

I will consult with my team on Monday to see if anyone else has any bright ideas regarding this keyboard interaction with the bottom sheet idea.
