我认为你需要一个公认的答案和@fishstix的组合

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

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

    return topController;
}

Swift 3.0 +

func topMostController() -> UIViewController? {
    guard let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow, let rootViewController = window.rootViewController else {
        return nil
    }

    var topController = rootViewController

    while let newTopController = topController.presentedViewController {
        topController = newTopController
    }

    return topController
}

这是对Eric的回答的改进:

UIViewController *_topMostController(UIViewController *cont) {
    UIViewController *topController = cont;

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

    if ([topController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
        UIViewController *visible = ((UINavigationController *)topController).visibleViewController;
        if (visible) {
            topController = visible;
        }
    }

    return (topController != cont ? topController : nil);
}

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

    UIViewController *next = nil;

    while ((next = _topMostController(topController)) != nil) {
        topController = next;
    }

    return topController;
}

UIViewController *cont是一个辅助函数。

现在你所需要做的就是调用topMostController()和最顶端的UIViewController应该被返回!

这对于从任何根视图控件中找到top viewcontroller1非常有效

+ (UIViewController *)topViewControllerFor:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
    if(!viewController.presentedViewController)
        return viewController;
    return [MF5AppDelegate topViewControllerFor:viewController.presentedViewController];
}

/* View Controller for Visible View */

AppDelegate *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
UIViewController *visibleViewController = [AppDelegate topViewControllerFor:app.window.rootViewController]; 

之前的答案似乎不能处理rootController是UITabBarController或UINavigationController的情况。

下面是swift中适用于这些情况的函数:

func getCurrentView() -> UIViewController?
{
    if let window = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow, var currentView: UIViewController = window.rootViewController
    {
        while (currentView.presentedViewController != nil)
        {
            if let presented = currentView.presentedViewController
            {
                currentView = presented
            }
        }

        if currentView is UITabBarController
        {
            if let visible = (currentView as! UITabBarController).selectedViewController
            {
                currentView = visible;
            }
        }

        if currentView is UINavigationController
        {
            if let visible = (currentView as! UINavigationController).visibleViewController
            {
                currentView = visible;
            }
        }

        return currentView
    }

    return nil
}

Swift 4.2扩展

extension UIApplication {

    class func topViewController(controller: UIViewController? = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {
        if let navigationController = controller as? UINavigationController {
            return topViewController(controller: navigationController.visibleViewController)
        }
        if let tabController = controller as? UITabBarController {
            if let selected = tabController.selectedViewController {
                return topViewController(controller: selected)
            }
        }
        if let presented = controller?.presentedViewController {


            return topViewController(controller: presented)
        }
        return controller
    }
}

在任何地方都可以使用，

 UIApplication.topViewController()?.present(yourController, animated: true, completion: nil)

或者像,

 UIApplication.topViewController()?
                    .navigationController?
                    .popToViewController(yourController,
                                         animated: true)

适合任何类，如UINavigationController, UITabBarController

享受吧!

Swift 4.2中一个简洁而全面的解决方案，考虑了UINavigationControllers, UITabBarControllers, presenting和子视图控制器:

extension UIViewController {
  func topmostViewController() -> UIViewController {
    if let navigationVC = self as? UINavigationController,
      let topVC = navigationVC.topViewController {
      return topVC.topmostViewController()
    }
    if let tabBarVC = self as? UITabBarController,
      let selectedVC = tabBarVC.selectedViewController {
      return selectedVC.topmostViewController()
    }
    if let presentedVC = presentedViewController {
      return presentedVC.topmostViewController()
    }
    if let childVC = children.last {
      return childVC.topmostViewController()
    }
    return self
  }
}

extension UIApplication {
  func topmostViewController() -> UIViewController? {
    return keyWindow?.rootViewController?.topmostViewController()
  }
}

用法:

let viewController = UIApplication.shared.topmostViewController()
