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!

创建helper类AlertWindow并使用as

let alertWindow = AlertWindow();
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Hello", message: "message", preferredStyle: .alert);
let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .cancel){(action) in

    //....  action code here

    // reference to alertWindow retain it. Every action must have this at end

    alertWindow.isHidden = true;

   //  here AlertWindow.deinit{  }

}
alert.addAction(cancel);
alertWindow.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)


class AlertWindow:UIWindow{

    convenience init(){
        self.init(frame:UIScreen.main.bounds);
    }

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame);
        if let color = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window??.tintColor {
            tintColor = color;
        }
        rootViewController = UIViewController()
        windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1;
        makeKeyAndVisible()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    deinit{
        //  semaphor.signal();
    }

    func present(_ ctrl:UIViewController, animated:Bool, completion: (()->Void)?){
        rootViewController!.present(ctrl, animated: animated, completion: completion);
    }
}

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)

在Objective-C中显示警报的简单方法:

[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController] presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

alertController是你的UIAlertController对象。

注意:你还需要确保你的助手类扩展了UIViewController

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)
    }
}

斯威夫特

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "title", message: "message", preferredStyle: .alert)
//...
var rootViewController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
if let navigationController = rootViewController as? UINavigationController {
    rootViewController = navigationController.viewControllers.first
}
if let tabBarController = rootViewController as? UITabBarController {
    rootViewController = tabBarController.selectedViewController
}
//...
rootViewController?.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

objective - c

UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"message" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
//...
id rootViewController = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate.window.rootViewController;
if([rootViewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]])
{
    rootViewController = ((UINavigationController *)rootViewController).viewControllers.firstObject;
}
if([rootViewController isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]])
{
    rootViewController = ((UITabBarController *)rootViewController).selectedViewController;
}
//...
[rootViewController presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];
