简单的扩展UIApplication在Swift:

注意:

它关心UITabBarController中的moreNavigationController

extension UIApplication {

    class func topViewController(baseViewController: UIViewController? = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {

        if let navigationController = baseViewController as? UINavigationController {
            return topViewController(navigationController.visibleViewController)
        }

        if let tabBarViewController = baseViewController as? UITabBarController {

            let moreNavigationController = tabBarViewController.moreNavigationController

            if let topViewController = moreNavigationController.topViewController where topViewController.view.window != nil {
                return topViewController(topViewController)
            } else if let selectedViewController = tabBarViewController.selectedViewController {
                return topViewController(selectedViewController)
            }
        }

        if let splitViewController = baseViewController as? UISplitViewController where splitViewController.viewControllers.count == 1 {
            return topViewController(splitViewController.viewControllers[0])
        }

        if let presentedViewController = baseViewController?.presentedViewController {
            return topViewController(presentedViewController)
        }

        return baseViewController
    }
}

简单的用法:

if let topViewController = UIApplication.topViewController() {
    //do sth with top view controller
}

这个答案包含了childViewControllers，并维护了一个干净易读的实现。

+ (UIViewController *)topViewController
{
    UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;

    return [rootViewController topVisibleViewController];
}

- (UIViewController *)topVisibleViewController
{
    if ([self isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]])
    {
        UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *)self;
        return [tabBarController.selectedViewController topVisibleViewController];
    }
    else if ([self isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]])
    {
        UINavigationController *navigationController = (UINavigationController *)self;
        return [navigationController.visibleViewController topVisibleViewController];
    }
    else if (self.presentedViewController)
    {
        return [self.presentedViewController topVisibleViewController];
    }
    else if (self.childViewControllers.count > 0)
    {
        return [self.childViewControllers.lastObject topVisibleViewController];
    }

    return self;
}

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
    }

以下是对我有效的方法。

我发现有时候控制器在键窗口上是nil，因为键窗口是一些操作系统的东西，如警报等。

 + (UIViewController*)topMostController
 {
     UIWindow *topWndow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
     UIViewController *topController = topWndow.rootViewController;

     if (topController == nil)
     {
         // The windows in the array are ordered from back to front by window level; thus,
         // the last window in the array is on top of all other app windows.
         for (UIWindow *aWndow in [[UIApplication sharedApplication].windows reverseObjectEnumerator])
         {
             topController = aWndow.rootViewController;
             if (topController)
                 break;
         }
     }

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

     return 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。

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。
