以下是Swift 2.0解决方案的代码，已经在接受的答案中提供:

    //only apply the blur if the user hasn't disabled transparency effects
    if !UIAccessibilityIsReduceTransparencyEnabled() {
        self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()

        let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: UIBlurEffectStyle.Dark)
        let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
        //always fill the view
        blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds
        blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]

        self.view.addSubview(blurEffectView) //if you have more UIViews, use an insertSubview API to place it where needed
    } else {
        self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    }

2019代码

下面是一个使用@AdamBardon技巧的更完整的例子。

@IBDesignable class ButtonOrSomethingWithBlur: UIButton {

    var ba: UIViewPropertyAnimator?
    private lazy var blurry: BlurryBall = { return BlurryBall() }()

    override func didMoveToSuperview() {
        super.didMoveToSuperview()
        
        // Setup the blurry ball.  BE SURE TO TEARDOWN.
        // Use superb trick to access the internal guassian level of Apple's
        // standard gpu blurrer per stackoverflow.com/a/55378168/294884
        
        superview?.insertSubview(blurry, belowSubview: self)
        ba = UIViewPropertyAnimator(duration:1, curve:.linear) {[weak self] in
            // note, those duration/curve values are simply unusued
            self?.blurry.effect = UIBlurEffect(style: .extraLight)
        }
        ba?.fractionComplete = live.largeplaybutton_blurfactor
    }
    
    override func willMove(toSuperview newSuperview: UIView?) {
        
        // Teardown for the blurry ball - critical
        
        if newSuperview == nil { print("safe teardown")
            ba?.stopAnimation(true)
            ba?.finishAnimation(at: .current)
        }
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() { super.layoutSubviews()
        blurry.frame = bounds, your drawing frame or whatever
    }

{题外话:作为一个通用的iOS工程问题，didMoveToWindow可能比didMoveToSuperview更适合你。其次，您可以使用其他一些方法来执行拆卸操作，但是拆卸操作就是这里显示的两行代码。

bluryball只是一个UIVisualEffectView。注意视觉效果视图的初始值。如果你碰巧需要圆角或者其他东西，在这门课上做吧。

class BlurryBall: UIVisualEffectView {
    
    override init(effect: UIVisualEffect?) { super.init(effect: effect)
        commonInit() }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        commonInit() }
    
    private func commonInit() {
        clipsToBounds = true
        backgroundColor = .clear
    }
    
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        layer.cornerRadius = bounds.width / 2
    }
}

我认为最简单的解决方案是覆盖UIToolbar，它在iOS 7中模糊了它后面的所有东西。这很狡猾，但实现起来非常简单，而且速度很快!

你可以对任何视图这么做，只是让它成为UIToolbar的子类而不是UIView。你甚至可以用UIViewController的view属性来做，例如…

1)创建一个新类，它是UIViewController的“子类”，并选中“With XIB for user interface”。

2)选择View，进入右边面板中的标识检查器(alt-command-3)。将“Class”改为UIToolbar。现在转到属性检查器(alt-command-4)，将“背景”颜色改为“清色”。

3)在主视图中添加子视图，并将其连接到接口中的IBOutlet。叫它backgroundColorView。它看起来像这样，是实现(.m)文件中的一个私有类别。

@interface BlurExampleViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *backgroundColorView;
@end

4)转到视图控制器实现(.m)文件并更改-viewDidLoad方法，如下所示:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.view.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; // this will give a black blur as in the original post
    self.backgroundColorView.opaque = NO;
    self.backgroundColorView.alpha = 0.5;
    self.backgroundColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.3 alpha:1];
}

这将给你一个深灰色的视图，它模糊了它后面的一切。没有有趣的业务，没有缓慢的核心图像模糊，使用操作系统/SDK提供的一切。

你可以将这个视图控制器的视图添加到另一个视图，如下所示:

[self addChildViewController:self.blurViewController];
[self.view addSubview:self.blurViewController.view];
[self.blurViewController didMoveToParentViewController:self];

// animate the self.blurViewController into view

如果有什么不清楚的地方请告诉我，我很乐意帮忙!

Edit

UIToolbar在7.0.3中被改变，当使用彩色模糊时可能会产生不希望看到的效果。

我们过去能够使用barTintColor设置颜色，但如果你以前这样做，你将需要将alpha组件设置为小于1。否则你的UIToolbar将是完全不透明的颜色-没有模糊。

这可以通过如下方式实现:(记住self是UIToolbar的子类)

UIColor *color = [UIColor blueColor]; // for example
self.barTintColor = [color colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5];

这将给模糊的视图一个蓝色的色调。

func blurBackgroundUsingImage(image: UIImage)
{
    var frame                   = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height)
    var imageView               = UIImageView(frame: frame)
    imageView.image             = image
    imageView.contentMode       = .ScaleAspectFill
    var blurEffect              = UIBlurEffect(style: .Light)
    var blurEffectView          = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
    blurEffectView.frame        = frame
    var transparentWhiteView    = UIView(frame: frame)
    transparentWhiteView.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 1.0, alpha: 0.30)
    var viewsArray              = [imageView, blurEffectView, transparentWhiteView]

    for index in 0..<viewsArray.count {
        if let oldView = self.view.viewWithTag(index + 1) {
            var oldView         = self.view.viewWithTag(index + 1)
            // Must explicitly unwrap oldView to access its removeFromSuperview() method as of Xcode 6 Beta 5
            oldView!.removeFromSuperview()
        }
        var viewToInsert        = viewsArray[index]
        self.view.insertSubview(viewToInsert, atIndex: index + 1)
        viewToInsert.tag        = index + 1
    }
}

下面是一个简单的方法来添加自定义模糊，而不用与私有api讨价还价使用UIViewPropertyAnimator:

首先，声明class属性:

var blurAnimator: UIViewPropertyAnimator!

然后在viewDidLoad()中设置你的模糊视图:

let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView()
blurEffectView.backgroundColor = .clear
blurEffectView.frame = view.bounds
blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
view.addSubview(blurEffectView)

blurAnimator = UIViewPropertyAnimator(duration: 1, curve: .linear) { [blurEffectView] in
    blurEffectView.effect = UIBlurEffect(style: .light)
}

blurAnimator.fractionComplete = 0.15 // set the blur intensity.    

注意:此解决方案不适用于UICollectionView/UITableView单元格

这是乔伊回答的重要补充

这适用于你想用UINavigationController呈现一个模糊背景的UIViewController的情况。

// suppose you've done blur effect with your presented view controller
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController];

// this is very important, if you don't do this, the blur effect will darken after view did appeared
// the reason is that you actually present navigation controller, not presented controller
// please note it's "OverFullScreen", not "OverCurrentContext"
nav.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;

UIViewController *presentedViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; 
// the presented view controller's modalPresentationStyle is "OverCurrentContext"
presentedViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;

[presentingViewController presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];

享受吧!
