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。

Swift替代解决方案:

static func topMostController() -> UIViewController {
    var topController = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController
    while (topController?.presentedViewController != nil) {
        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。

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;
    }
}

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。

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
}
