override func willMove(toParent parent: UIViewController?)
{
    super.willMove(toParent: parent)
    if parent == nil
    {
        print("This VC is 'will' be popped. i.e. the back button was pressed.")
    }
}

override func willMove(toParent parent: UIViewController?)
{
    super.willMove(toParent: parent)
    if parent == nil
    {
        print("This VC is 'will' be popped. i.e. the back button was pressed.")
    }
}

如果你正在使用navigationController，那么将UINavigationControllerDelegate协议添加到类中，并添加delegate方法，如下所示:

class ViewController:UINavigationControllerDelegate {

    func navigationController(navigationController: UINavigationController, willShowViewController viewController: UIViewController,
animated: Bool) {
        if viewController === self {
            // do here what you want
        }
    }
}

每当导航控制器滑到新屏幕时，就调用此方法。如果返回按钮被按下，新的视图控制器就是ViewController本身。

我通过调用/重写viewWillDisappear来实现这一点，然后像这样访问navigationController的堆栈:

override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    let stack = self.navigationController?.viewControllers.count

    if stack >= 2 {
        // for whatever reason, the last item on the stack is the TaskBuilderViewController (not self), so we only use -1 to access it
        if let lastitem = self.navigationController?.viewControllers[stack! - 1] as? theViewControllerYoureTryingToAccess {
            // hand over the data via public property or call a public method of theViewControllerYoureTryingToAccess, like
            lastitem.emptyArray()
            lastitem.value = 5
        }
    }
}

这是我自己解决问题的方法

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.action = #selector(self.back(sender:))
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.target = self
}

@objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {

}

Swift 5+(带警报控制的后退按钮)

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
        let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "<Back", style: UIBarButtonItem.Style.plain, target: self, action: #selector(PGWebViewController.back(sender:)))
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
}


@objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
    
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Warning!", message: "Your payment process is not completed yet. Do you want to go back?", preferredStyle: .alert)
        
         let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
             _ = self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
         })
         alert.addAction(ok)
         let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { action in
         })
         alert.addAction(cancel)
         DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            self.present(alert, animated: true)
    })}
