迅速:

extension UIWindow {

func visibleViewController() -> UIViewController? {
    if let rootViewController: UIViewController  = self.rootViewController {
        return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(rootViewController)
    }
    return nil
}

class func getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc:UIViewController) -> UIViewController {
if vc.isKindOfClass(UINavigationController.self) {

    let navigationController = vc as UINavigationController
    return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom( navigationController.visibleViewController)

} else if vc.isKindOfClass(UITabBarController.self) {

    let tabBarController = vc as UITabBarController
    return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(tabBarController.selectedViewController!)

} else {

    if let presentedViewController = vc.presentedViewController {

        return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(presentedViewController.presentedViewController!)

    } else {

        return vc;
    }
}
}

用法:

 if let topController = window.visibleViewController() {
            println(topController)
        }

iOS 4在UIWindow上引入了rootViewController属性:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;

你需要在创建视图控制器后自己设置。

@implementation UIWindow (Extensions)

- (UIViewController*) topMostController
{
    UIViewController *topController = [self rootViewController];

    while (topController.presentedViewController) {
        topController = topController.presentedViewController;
    }

    return topController;
}

@end

一个完整的非递归版本，照顾到不同的场景:

视图控制器正在呈现另一个视图 视图控制器是一个UINavigationController 视图控制器是一个UITabBarController

objective - c

 UIViewController *topViewController = self.window.rootViewController;
 while (true)
 {
     if (topViewController.presentedViewController) {
         topViewController = topViewController.presentedViewController;
     } else if ([topViewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
         UINavigationController *nav = (UINavigationController *)topViewController;
         topViewController = nav.topViewController;
     } else if ([topViewController isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]]) {
         UITabBarController *tab = (UITabBarController *)topViewController;
         topViewController = tab.selectedViewController;
     } else {
         break;
     }
 }

斯威夫特 4+

extension UIWindow {
    func topViewController() -> UIViewController? {
        var top = self.rootViewController
        while true {
            if let presented = top?.presentedViewController {
                top = presented
            } else if let nav = top as? UINavigationController {
                top = nav.visibleViewController
            } else if let tab = top as? UITabBarController {
                top = tab.selectedViewController
            } else {
                break
            }
        }
        return top
    }
}

我的问题有点不同，我在我的应用程序中使用SWRevealViewController。 我使用了Yuchen Zhong的答案，但它总是返回topViewController作为SWRevealViewController。对于那些使用SWRevealViewController或其他一些pod来开发侧菜单的人。以下是我对钟宇晨回答的延伸:

extension UIApplication {
class func topViewController() -> UIViewController? {
    var topVC = shared.keyWindow!.rootViewController
    while true {
        if let presented = topVC?.presentedViewController {
            topVC = presented
        } else if let nav = topVC as? UINavigationController {
            topVC = nav.visibleViewController
        } else if let tab = topVC as? UITabBarController {
            topVC = tab.selectedViewController
        }else if let swRVC = topVC as? SWRevealViewController {
            topVC = swRVC.frontViewController
        } else {
            break
        }
    }
    return topVC
}
}

另一个解决方案依赖于responder链，它可能工作，也可能不工作，这取决于第一个responder是什么:

获取第一个响应器。 获取与第一个responder相关联的UIViewController。

示例伪代码:

+ (UIViewController *)currentViewController {
    UIView *firstResponder = [self firstResponder]; // from the first link above, but not guaranteed to return a UIView, so this should be handled more appropriately.
    UIViewController *viewController = [firstResponder viewController]; // from the second link above
    return viewController;
}
