Well, google knew within 10 seconds.
From your UIPopoverController ->

[popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];

That's it..

I'm not sure that's going to work if I understand this correctly. The poster does not "own" the popover. I think it's created/owned by the data detectors running in the web view?

no it is not so easy at the moment of return back we haven't popoverController to call its method (dismissPopoverAnimated:YES), also I don't know to which viewcontroller it belongs

yes !

one possible solution to catch event of appearing mentioned popover and getting its pointer - but where and how - I don't know

Doesn't dismissing the popover as the application becomes inactive work just as well?

This still does not address how one dismisses a popover one does not own: the UIWebView data detectors are creating and displaying the popover...

Ooooh, now I see it, this is one of those automated created ones.
Can't you make a for in loop?

for (UIPopoverController *pop in self.view)
{
 [pop dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}

Not sure if that would work, just saying something.

Why would the controller be in the view? The view the controller controls will be. But I don't know if you can link a view back to a view controller back to the popover controller easily (or at all)

Interesting problem. Having you tried disabling data detectors when the view disappears then re-enable them when view will appear? Shot in the dark.

I have made some investigation and found that this looks like ABUnknownPersonViewController http://developer.apple.com/library/...lerDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html

so I will try to set delegate ABUnknownPersonViewControllerDelegate and catch appropriate event ...
