Add a button on top (floating) of UISplitView - Swift

Question

My app contains only one UISplitViewController. Now I want to add a floating button on top of the window. But it is not possible to use the storyboard to drag a button to the UITableViewController of the master view, because by default, the master view contains only a UITableView.

How can I do it?

Did you try adding Split View Controller inside a Container View? — Yunus Eren Güzel, Aug 15 '17 at 08:32
By default, there is only a table view. Do you suggest to nest it in a container? — T D Nguyen, Aug 15 '17 at 09:00

You just need to create a new View controller before your split view controller. And in this new controller add the button on top and add the container view to fill the rest of the view.

Then create a segue from container view to Split View Controller by viewDidLoad/embed

That's all!
