你可以使用两种方法:

-使用UIAlertView或'UIActionSheet'代替(不推荐，因为它在iOS 8中已弃用，但现在可以使用了)

-记得上次显示的视图控制器。举个例子。

@interface UIViewController (TopController)
+ (UIViewController *)topViewController;
@end

// implementation

#import "UIViewController+TopController.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

static __weak UIViewController *_topViewController = nil;

@implementation UIViewController (TopController)

+ (UIViewController *)topViewController {
    UIViewController *vc = _topViewController;
    while (vc.parentViewController) {
        vc = vc.parentViewController;
    }
    return vc;
}

+ (void)load {
    [super load];
    [self swizzleSelector:@selector(viewDidAppear:) withSelector:@selector(myViewDidAppear:)];
    [self swizzleSelector:@selector(viewWillDisappear:) withSelector:@selector(myViewWillDisappear:)];
}

- (void)myViewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    if (_topViewController == nil) {
        _topViewController = self;
    }

    [self myViewDidAppear:animated];
}

- (void)myViewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    if (_topViewController == self) {
        _topViewController = nil;
    }

    [self myViewWillDisappear:animated];
}

+ (void)swizzleSelector:(SEL)sel1 withSelector:(SEL)sel2
{
    Class class = [self class];

    Method originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(class, sel1);
    Method swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(class, sel2);

    BOOL didAddMethod = class_addMethod(class,
                                        sel1,
                                        method_getImplementation(swizzledMethod),
                                        method_getTypeEncoding(swizzledMethod));

    if (didAddMethod) {
        class_replaceMethod(class,
                            sel2,
                            method_getImplementation(originalMethod),
                            method_getTypeEncoding(originalMethod));
    } else {
        method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod);
    }
}

@end 

用法:

[[UIViewController topViewController] presentViewController:alertController ...];

在调用类方法之前注册通知。

斯威夫特代码:

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "displayAlert", name: "ErrorOccured", object: nil)

在displayAlert实例方法中，您可以显示警报。

你可以用Swift 2.2做以下事情:

let alertController: UIAlertController = ...
UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Swift 3.0:

let alertController: UIAlertController = ...
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

我知道这是针对iOS的，因为搜索引擎中几乎所有的链接都能找到iOS的帖子，我想我应该把这个提供给macOS的开发者。

macOS上的Swift 5.5

根据Darkngs的回答，我在另一个类中添加了这个方法:

let alert = NSAlert()
let viewController = NSApplication.shared.keyWindow?.contentViewController
alert.messageText = "An Alert Message."
alert.addButton(withTitle: "Ok")
alert.beginSheetModal(for: (viewController?.view.window)!) {
    (returnCode: NSApplication.ModalResponse) -> Void in
}

Kevin Sliech提供了一个很好的解决方案。

我现在在我的主UIViewController子类中使用下面的代码。

我做的一个小改动是检查最好的表示控制器是不是一个普通的UIViewController。如果不是，那就一定是某个VC表示一个普通VC。因此，我们返回正在呈现的VC。

- (UIViewController *)bestPresentationController
{
    UIViewController *bestPresentationController = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;

    if (![bestPresentationController isMemberOfClass:[UIViewController class]])
    {
        bestPresentationController = bestPresentationController.presentedViewController;
    }    

    return bestPresentationController;
}

在我的测试中似乎一切正常。

谢谢你，凯文!

对于iOS 13，基于mythicalcoder和bobbyrehm的回答:

在iOS 13中，如果你正在创建自己的窗口来显示警报，你需要保持对该窗口的强引用，否则你的警报将不会显示，因为当它的引用退出作用域时，窗口将立即被释放。

此外，在警报解除后，您需要再次将引用设置为nil，以便删除窗口，继续允许用户在它下面的主窗口上进行交互。

你可以创建一个UIViewController子类来封装窗口内存管理逻辑:

class WindowAlertPresentationController: UIViewController {

    // MARK: - Properties

    private lazy var window: UIWindow? = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    private let alert: UIAlertController

    // MARK: - Initialization

    init(alert: UIAlertController) {

        self.alert = alert
        super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {

        fatalError("This initializer is not supported")
    }

    // MARK: - Presentation

    func present(animated: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)?) {

        window?.rootViewController = self
        window?.windowLevel = UIWindow.Level.alert + 1
        window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
        present(alert, animated: animated, completion: completion)
    }

    // MARK: - Overrides

    override func dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {

        super.dismiss(animated: flag) {
            self.window = nil
            completion?()
        }
    }
}

你可以这样使用它，或者如果你想在你的UIAlertController上使用一个方便的方法，你可以把它扔到一个扩展中:

extension UIAlertController {

    func presentInOwnWindow(animated: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)?) {

        let windowAlertPresentationController = WindowAlertPresentationController(alert: self)
        windowAlertPresentationController.present(animated: animated, completion: completion)
    }
}
