在WWDC上，我在一个实验室停下来，问了一个苹果工程师同样的问题:“显示UIAlertController的最佳实践是什么?”他说他们经常被问到这个问题，我们开玩笑说他们应该就此开个会。他说苹果内部创建了一个带有透明UIViewController的UIWindow，然后在上面呈现UIAlertController。基本上就是迪伦·贝特曼的答案。

但我不想使用UIAlertController的子类，因为这将需要我在整个应用程序中更改我的代码。因此，在关联对象的帮助下，我在UIAlertController上创建了一个类别，它在Objective-C中提供了一个显示方法。

以下是相关代码:

#import "UIAlertController+Window.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@interface UIAlertController (Window)

- (void)show;
- (void)show:(BOOL)animated;

@end

@interface UIAlertController (Private)

@property (nonatomic, strong) UIWindow *alertWindow;

@end

@implementation UIAlertController (Private)

@dynamic alertWindow;

- (void)setAlertWindow:(UIWindow *)alertWindow {
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, @selector(alertWindow), alertWindow, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

- (UIWindow *)alertWindow {
    return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, @selector(alertWindow));
}

@end

@implementation UIAlertController (Window)

- (void)show {
    [self show:YES];
}

- (void)show:(BOOL)animated {
    self.alertWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
    self.alertWindow.rootViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];

    id<UIApplicationDelegate> delegate = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
    // Applications that does not load with UIMainStoryboardFile might not have a window property:
    if ([delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(window)]) {
        // we inherit the main window's tintColor
        self.alertWindow.tintColor = delegate.window.tintColor;
    }

    // window level is above the top window (this makes the alert, if it's a sheet, show over the keyboard)
    UIWindow *topWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows.lastObject;
    self.alertWindow.windowLevel = topWindow.windowLevel + 1;

    [self.alertWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
    [self.alertWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:self animated:animated completion:nil];
}

- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
    
    // precaution to ensure window gets destroyed
    self.alertWindow.hidden = YES;
    self.alertWindow = nil;
}

@end

下面是一个用法示例:

// need local variable for TextField to prevent retain cycle of Alert otherwise UIWindow
// would not disappear after the Alert was dismissed
__block UITextField *localTextField;
UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Global Alert" message:@"Enter some text" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
[alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"OK" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
    NSLog(@"do something with text:%@", localTextField.text);
// do NOT use alert.textfields or otherwise reference the alert in the block. Will cause retain cycle
}]];
[alert addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *textField) {
    localTextField = textField;
}];
[alert show];

当UIAlertController被释放时，创建的UIWindow将被销毁，因为它是唯一保留UIWindow的对象。但是如果你将UIAlertController分配给一个属性，或者通过在其中一个动作块中访问警报而导致其保留计数增加，UIWindow将停留在屏幕上，锁定你的UI。请参阅上面的示例使用代码，以避免在需要访问UITextField的情况下。

我用一个测试项目FFGlobalAlertController做了一个GitHub回购

如果有人感兴趣，我创建了一个Swift 3版本的@agilityvision答案。代码:

import Foundation
import UIKit

extension UIAlertController {

    var window: UIWindow? {
        get {
            return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, "window") as? UIWindow
        }
        set {
            objc_setAssociatedObject(self, "window", newValue, objc_AssociationPolicy.OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
        }
    }

    open override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
        self.window?.isHidden = true
        self.window = nil
    }

    func show(animated: Bool = true) {
        let window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
        window.rootViewController = UIViewController(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)

        let delegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate
        if delegate?.window != nil {
            window.tintColor = delegate!.window!!.tintColor
        }

        window.windowLevel = UIApplication.shared.windows.last!.windowLevel + 1

        window.makeKeyAndVisible()
        window.rootViewController!.present(self, animated: animated, completion: nil)

        self.window = window
    }
}

我在我的AppDelegate类中使用了这段代码和一些个人变化

-(UIViewController*)presentingRootViewController
{
    UIViewController *vc = self.window.rootViewController;
    if ([vc isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]] ||
        [vc isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]])
    {
        // filter nav controller
        vc = [AppDelegate findChildThatIsNotNavController:vc];
        // filter tab controller
        if ([vc isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]]) {
            UITabBarController *tbc = ((UITabBarController*)vc);
            if ([tbc viewControllers].count > 0) {
                vc = [tbc viewControllers][tbc.selectedIndex];
                // filter nav controller again
                vc = [AppDelegate findChildThatIsNotNavController:vc];
            }
        }
    }
    return vc;
}
/**
 *   Private helper
 */
+(UIViewController*)findChildThatIsNotNavController:(UIViewController*)vc
{
    if ([vc isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
        if (((UINavigationController *)vc).viewControllers.count > 0) {
            vc = [((UINavigationController *)vc).viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
        }
    }
    return vc;
}

extension UIApplication {
    /// The top most view controller
    static var topMostViewController: UIViewController? {
        return UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.visibleViewController
    }
}

extension UIViewController {
    /// The visible view controller from a given view controller
    var visibleViewController: UIViewController? {
        if let navigationController = self as? UINavigationController {
            return navigationController.topViewController?.visibleViewController
        } else if let tabBarController = self as? UITabBarController {
            return tabBarController.selectedViewController?.visibleViewController
        } else if let presentedViewController = presentedViewController {
            return presentedViewController.visibleViewController
        } else {
            return self
        }
    }
}

有了这个，你可以很容易地呈现你的警告，就像这样

UIApplication.topMostViewController?.present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

需要注意的一件事是，如果有一个UIAlertController当前正在显示，UIApplication。topMostViewController将返回一个UIAlertController。在UIAlertController的顶部呈现有奇怪的行为，应该避免。因此，你应该手动检查!topMostViewController is UIAlertController)，或者如果self是UIAlertController，添加一个else if case返回nil

extension UIViewController {
    /// The visible view controller from a given view controller
    var visibleViewController: UIViewController? {
        if let navigationController = self as? UINavigationController {
            return navigationController.topViewController?.visibleViewController
        } else if let tabBarController = self as? UITabBarController {
            return tabBarController.selectedViewController?.visibleViewController
        } else if let presentedViewController = presentedViewController {
            return presentedViewController.visibleViewController
        } else if self is UIAlertController {
            return nil
        } else {
            return self
        }
    }
}

你可以将当前视图或控制器作为参数发送:

+ (void)myUtilityMethod:(id)controller {
    // do stuff
    // something bad happened, display an alert.
}

@agilityvision的答案翻译为Swift4/iOS11。我没有使用本地化字符串，但你可以很容易地改变:

import UIKit

/** An alert controller that can be called without a view controller.
 Creates a blank view controller and presents itself over that
 **/
class AlertPlusViewController: UIAlertController {

    private var alertWindow: UIWindow?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
        self.alertWindow?.isHidden = true
        alertWindow = nil
    }

    func show() {
        self.showAnimated(animated: true)
    }

    func showAnimated(animated _: Bool) {

        let blankViewController = UIViewController()
        blankViewController.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear

        let window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
        window.rootViewController = blankViewController
        window.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1
        window.makeKeyAndVisible()
        self.alertWindow = window

        blankViewController.present(self, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    func presentOkayAlertWithTitle(title: String?, message: String?) {

        let alertController = AlertPlusViewController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        let okayAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: nil)
        alertController.addAction(okayAction)
        alertController.show()
    }

    func presentOkayAlertWithError(error: NSError?) {
        let title = "Error"
        let message = error?.localizedDescription
        presentOkayAlertWithTitle(title: title, message: message)
    }
}
