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

objective - c

UIVisualEffect *blurEffect;
blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleDark];
UIVisualEffectView *visualEffectView;
visualEffectView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
visualEffectView.frame = self.accessImageView.bounds;
[self.accessImageView addSubview:visualEffectView];

斯威夫特3.0

let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: UIBlurEffectStyle.dark)
let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
blurEffectView.frame = view.bounds
blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
view.addSubview(blurEffectView)

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!

公认的答案是正确的，但这里缺少一个重要的步骤，如果这个视图-您想要模糊的背景-是使用

[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil]

默认情况下，这将抵消模糊，因为UIKit删除演示者的视图，这实际上是模糊的。为了避免这种删除，将这一行添加到前一行之前

vc。modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;

或者使用其他Over样式。

你可以使用UIVisualEffectView来实现这个效果。这是一个本地API，经过了性能和电池寿命的微调，而且很容易实现。

迅速:

//only apply the blur if the user hasn't disabled transparency effects
if !UIAccessibility.isReduceTransparencyEnabled {
    view.backgroundColor = .clear

    let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .dark)
    let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
    //always fill the view
    blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds
    blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]

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

objective - c:

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

    UIBlurEffect *blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleDark];
    UIVisualEffectView *blurEffectView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
    //always fill the view
    blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds;
    blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;

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

如果你以模态方式呈现这个视图控制器来模糊底层内容，你需要将模态呈现风格设置为Over Current Context，并将背景颜色设置为clear，以确保底层视图控制器在顶部呈现时仍然可见。

Swift 3版本的凯文的答案返回模糊的图像-

func blurBgImage(image: UIImage) -> UIImage? {
        let radius: CGFloat = 20;
        let context = CIContext(options: nil);
        let inputImage = CIImage(cgImage: image.cgImage!);
        let filter = CIFilter(name: "CIGaussianBlur");
        filter?.setValue(inputImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey);
        filter?.setValue("\(radius)", forKey:kCIInputRadiusKey);

        if let result = filter?.value(forKey: kCIOutputImageKey) as? CIImage{

            let rect = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: radius * 2,y :radius * 2), size: CGSize(width: image.size.width - radius * 4, height: image.size.height - radius * 4))

            if let cgImage = context.createCGImage(result, from: rect){
                return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage);
                }
        }
        return nil;
    }
