ios - SKColor clearColor returning a black color instead?

Question

I have setup my SKScene the following way during initiation:

-(id)initWithSize:(CGSize)size {
    if (self = [super initWithSize:size]) {


        self.backgroundColor = [SKColor clearColor];

    }
    return self;
}

But somehow, what I am given is the following, which is black, not clear at all:

What am I missing here? How can I make this scene clear? I have already made the view holding the scene clear yet this is still what I get.

Update: I have also tried setting myView.opaque = NO; but this did not help at all.

iOS 8 supports transparency:

skView.allowsTransparency = YES;
