Weak linking UIPopoverBackgroundView

Question

I have a project that has to be deployed to 4.0 but has some features that are 5.0 only, such as UI customization.

I want my UIPopoverBackgroundView subclass to be weak linked, but I always get the following error when launching on 4.X devices

        dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_UIPopoverBackgroundView

I can't use the NS_CLASS_AVAILABLE macro since my custom Background of the popover is a subclass of the UIPopoverBackgroundView class, so it has to be declared in a .h . How can I weak link only part of UIKit? Or is there any other way around this issue?

Thanks to all
