@agilityvision的回答非常好。我有在swift项目中使用的感觉，所以我想我将分享我使用swift 3.0的答案

fileprivate class MyUIAlertController: UIAlertController {

  typealias Handler = () -> Void

  struct AssociatedKeys {
    static var alertWindowKey = "alertWindowKey"
  }

  dynamic var _alertWindow: UIWindow?

  var alertWindow: UIWindow? {
    return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &AssociatedKeys.alertWindowKey) as? UIWindow
  }


  func setAlert(inWindow window: UIWindow) {
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &AssociatedKeys.alertWindowKey, _alertWindow, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
  }

  func show(completion: Handler? = nil) {
    show(animated: true, completion: completion)
  }

  func show(animated: Bool, completion: Handler? =  nil) {
    _alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    _alertWindow?.rootViewController = UIViewController()

    if let delegate: UIApplicationDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate, let window = delegate.window {
      _alertWindow?.tintColor = window?.tintColor

    }

    let topWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.last
    _alertWindow?.windowLevel = topWindow?.windowLevel ?? 0 + 1
    _alertWindow?.makeKeyAndVisible()
    _alertWindow?.rootViewController?.present(self, animated: animated, completion: completion)
  }

  fileprivate override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
    _alertWindow?.isHidden = true
    _alertWindow = 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
}

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 ...];

对于UINavigationController和/或UITabBarController的所有情况，非常通用的UIAlertController扩展。如果屏幕上有一个模态VC，也可以工作。

用法:

//option 1:
myAlertController.show()
//option 2:
myAlertController.present(animated: true) {
    //completion code...
}

这是扩展:

//Uses Swift1.2 syntax with the new if-let
// so it won't compile on a lower version.
extension UIAlertController {

    func show() {
        present(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    func present(#animated: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)?) {
        if let rootVC = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController {
            presentFromController(rootVC, animated: animated, completion: completion)
        }
    }

    private func presentFromController(controller: UIViewController, animated: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)?) {
        if  let navVC = controller as? UINavigationController,
            let visibleVC = navVC.visibleViewController {
                presentFromController(visibleVC, animated: animated, completion: completion)
        } else {
          if  let tabVC = controller as? UITabBarController,
              let selectedVC = tabVC.selectedViewController {
                presentFromController(selectedVC, animated: animated, completion: completion)
          } else {
              controller.presentViewController(self, animated: animated, completion: completion)
          }
        }
    }
}

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.
}

这在Swift中适用于普通的视图控制器，即使屏幕上有一个导航控制器:

let alert = UIAlertController(...)

let alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
alertWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()
alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1;
alertWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
alertWindow.rootViewController?.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
