Change the width of Master in UISplitViewController

The iPad programming guide says that the splitView's left pane is fixed to 320 points. But 320 pixels for my master view controller is too much. I would like to reduce it and give more space to detail view controller. Is it possible by anyway?

Link to the document which speaks about fixed width.

If you subclass UISplitViewController, you can implement -viewDidLayoutSubviews and adjust the width there. This is clean, no hacks or private APIs, and works even with rotation.

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    const CGFloat kMasterViewWidth = 240.0;

    UIViewController *masterViewController = [self.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
    UIViewController *detailViewController = [self.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];

    if (detailViewController.view.frame.origin.x > 0.0) {
        // Adjust the width of the master view
        CGRect masterViewFrame = masterViewController.view.frame;
        CGFloat deltaX = masterViewFrame.size.width - kMasterViewWidth;
        masterViewFrame.size.width -= deltaX;
        masterViewController.view.frame = masterViewFrame;

        // Adjust the width of the detail view
        CGRect detailViewFrame = detailViewController.view.frame;
        detailViewFrame.origin.x -= deltaX;
        detailViewFrame.size.width += deltaX;
        detailViewController.view.frame = detailViewFrame;

        [masterViewController.view setNeedsLayout];
        [detailViewController.view setNeedsLayout];
    }
}

In IOS 8.0 you can easily do this by doing the following:

1. In your MasterSplitViewController.h add

@property(nonatomic, assign) CGFloat maximumPrimaryColumnWidth NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(8_0);

2. In your MasterSplitViewController.m viewDidLoad method add

 self.maximumPrimaryColumnWidth = 100;
 self.splitViewController.maximumPrimaryColumnWidth = self.maximumPrimaryColumnWidth;

This is a really good, simple and easy feature of IOS 8.

this code is work for me

[splitViewController setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:200.0] forKey:@"_masterColumnWidth"];

No.

There are two private properties

@property(access,nonatomic) CGFloat masterColumnWidth;
@property(access,nonatomic) CGFloat leftColumnWidth; // both are the same!

but being private mean they can't be used for AppStore apps.
