我认为Rajesh的解决方案几乎是完美的，但我认为从上到下遍历子视图更好，我改为如下:

+ (UIViewController *)topViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController{

    if (viewController.presentedViewController)
    {

            UIViewController *presentedViewController = viewController.presentedViewController;
            return [self topViewController:presentedViewController];
     } 
     else if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]])
     {

            UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *)viewController;
            return [self topViewController:tabBarController.selectedViewController];
    }

         else if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]])
    {   

            UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)viewController;

            return [self topViewController:navController.visibleViewController];
    }

    // Handling UIViewController's added as subviews to some other views.
    else {

        NSInteger subCount = [viewController.view subviews].count - 1;

        for (NSInteger index = subCount; index >=0 ; --index)
        {

            UIView *view = [[viewController.view subviews] objectAtIndex:index];

            id subViewController = [view nextResponder];    // Key property which most of us are unaware of / rarely use.

            if ( subViewController && [subViewController isKindOfClass:[UIViewController class]])
            {
                return [self topViewController:subViewController];
            }
        }
        return viewController;
    }
}

为了完成JonasG的回答(谁在遍历时遗漏了标签栏控制器)，这里是我返回当前可见的视图控制器的版本:

- (UIViewController*)topViewController {
    return [self topViewControllerWithRootViewController:[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController];
}

- (UIViewController*)topViewControllerWithRootViewController:(UIViewController*)rootViewController {
    if ([rootViewController isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]]) {
        UITabBarController* tabBarController = (UITabBarController*)rootViewController;
        return [self topViewControllerWithRootViewController:tabBarController.selectedViewController];
    } else if ([rootViewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
        UINavigationController* navigationController = (UINavigationController*)rootViewController;
        return [self topViewControllerWithRootViewController:navigationController.visibleViewController];
    } else if (rootViewController.presentedViewController) {
        UIViewController* presentedViewController = rootViewController.presentedViewController;
        return [self topViewControllerWithRootViewController:presentedViewController];
    } else {
        return rootViewController;
    }
}

如果根控制器是一个导航控制器，找到顶部可见控制器的正确方法是:

UIViewController *rootVC = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow].rootViewController;
if ([rootVC respondsToSelector:@selector(visibleViewController)])
{
    UIViewController *topVC = [(UINavigationController *)rootVC visibleViewController];
    // do your thing with topVC
}

以下是UINavigationController.h的节选:

@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) UIViewController *topViewController; // The top view controller on the stack.
@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) UIViewController *visibleViewController; // Return modal view controller if it exists. Otherwise the top view controller.

扩展@Eric的回答，你需要小心，keyWindow实际上是你想要的窗口。例如，如果您试图在点击警报视图中的某些内容后使用此方法，keyWindow实际上将是警报的窗口，这无疑会给您带来问题。这发生在我在野外通过警报处理深度链接时，并导致SIGABRTs没有堆栈跟踪。要调试的婊子。

下面是我现在使用的代码:

- (UIViewController *)getTopMostViewController {
    UIWindow *topWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
    if (topWindow.windowLevel != UIWindowLevelNormal) {
        NSArray *windows = [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows;
        for(topWindow in windows)
        {
            if (topWindow.windowLevel == UIWindowLevelNormal)
                break;
        }
    }

    UIViewController *topViewController = topWindow.rootViewController;

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

    return topViewController;
}

你可以把这个和你喜欢的从这个问题的其他答案中检索顶视图控制器的方法混合在一起。

这是一个Swift的应用程序的实现与UINavigationController的根。

  if let nav = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController as? UINavigationController{
        //get the current's navigation view controller
        var vc = nav.topViewController
        while vc?.presentedViewController != nil {
            vc = vc?.presentedViewController
        }
        return vc
    }

这个解决方案是最完整的。它考虑到: UINavigationController UIPageViewController UITabBarController 最上面的视图控制器来自顶部视图控制器

以Swift 3为例。

有3个重载

//Get the topmost view controller for the current application.
public func MGGetTopMostViewController() -> UIViewController?  {

    if let currentWindow:UIWindow = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow {
        return MGGetTopMostViewController(fromWindow: currentWindow)
    }

    return nil
}

//Gets the topmost view controller from a specific window.
public func MGGetTopMostViewController(fromWindow window:UIWindow) -> UIViewController? {

    if let rootViewController:UIViewController = window.rootViewController
    {
        return MGGetTopMostViewController(fromViewController:  rootViewController)
    }

    return nil
}


//Gets the topmost view controller starting from a specific UIViewController
//Pass the rootViewController into this to get the apps top most view controller
public func MGGetTopMostViewController(fromViewController viewController:UIViewController) -> UIViewController {

    //UINavigationController
    if let navigationViewController:UINavigationController = viewController as? UINavigationController {
        let viewControllers:[UIViewController] = navigationViewController.viewControllers
        if navigationViewController.viewControllers.count >= 1 {
            return MGGetTopMostViewController(fromViewController: viewControllers[viewControllers.count - 1])
        }
    }

    //UIPageViewController
    if let pageViewController:UIPageViewController = viewController as? UIPageViewController {
        if let viewControllers:[UIViewController] = pageViewController.viewControllers {
            if viewControllers.count >= 1 {
                return MGGetTopMostViewController(fromViewController: viewControllers[0])
            }
        }
    }

    //UITabViewController
    if let tabBarController:UITabBarController = viewController as? UITabBarController {
        if let selectedViewController:UIViewController = tabBarController.selectedViewController {
            return MGGetTopMostViewController(fromViewController: selectedViewController)
        }
    }

    //Lastly, Attempt to get the topmost presented view controller
    var presentedViewController:UIViewController! = viewController.presentedViewController
    var nextPresentedViewController:UIViewController! = presentedViewController?.presentedViewController

    //If there is a presented view controller, get the top most prensentedViewController and return it.
    if presentedViewController != nil {
        while nextPresentedViewController != nil {

            //Set the presented view controller as the next one.
            presentedViewController = nextPresentedViewController

            //Attempt to get the next presented view controller
            nextPresentedViewController = presentedViewController.presentedViewController
        }
        return presentedViewController
    }

    //If there is no topmost presented view controller, return the view controller itself.
    return viewController
}
