iOS: Selecting multiple weekdays

Question

I am trying to create an interface where the user can select any number of weekdays. My initial thought was to create checkboxes, like this:

However, I soon realized that checkboxes don't exist in iOS. Doing this with switches seemed much too cumbersome for the user.

Should I design my own checkboxes for use in the application or create the interface in some other way?

Answer 1

it has a button that opens up a dedicated full-screen sheet with a tableview, but doesn't that seem like overkill?

Apple actually does this in a lot of places throughout iOS. When the user has a choice between two or more options (and the options are not each other's opposites, where a simple switch could suffice), a full-screen table view with checkmarks is used.
