对于Swift 5+， iOS 13 +

extension UIViewController {
    static func topMostViewController() -> UIViewController? {
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter {$0.isKeyWindow}.first
            return keyWindow?.rootViewController?.topMostViewController()
        }
        
        return UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.topMostViewController()
    }
    
    func topMostViewController() -> UIViewController? {
        if let navigationController = self as? UINavigationController {
            return navigationController.topViewController?.topMostViewController()
        }
        else if let tabBarController = self as? UITabBarController {
            if let selectedViewController = tabBarController.selectedViewController {
                return selectedViewController.topMostViewController()
            }
            return tabBarController.topMostViewController()
        }
            
        else if let presentedViewController = self.presentedViewController {
            return presentedViewController.topMostViewController()
        }
        
        else {
            return self
        }
    }
}

用法:

当你在没有UIViewController实例的情况下获取topMostViewController时

guard let viewController = UIViewController.topMostViewController() else { return }
print(viewController)

当你获取UIViewController实例的topMostViewController时

let yourVC = UIViewController()
guard let vc = yourVC.topMostViewController() else { return }
print(vc)

你可以在AppDelegate中定义一个UIViewController变量，并在每个viewWillAppear中设置这个变量为self。(然而，dianz的答案是最好的答案。)

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    let appDel = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
    appDel.currentVC = self
}

在Swift 3中找到可见的viewController

if let viewControllers = window?.rootViewController?.childViewControllers {

     let prefs = UserDefaults.standard

     if viewControllers[viewControllers.count - 1] is ABCController{
        print("[ABCController] is visible")

     }
}

这段代码找到最后添加的或最后可见的活动控制器。

我已经在AppDelegate中使用它来查找活动视图控制器

extension UIWindow {

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

    static func getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc:UIViewController) -> UIViewController {
        if let navigationController = vc as? UINavigationController,
            let visibleController = navigationController.visibleViewController  {
            return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom( vc: visibleController )
        } else if let tabBarController = vc as? UITabBarController,
            let selectedTabController = tabBarController.selectedViewController {
            return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc: selectedTabController )
        } else {
            if let presentedViewController = vc.presentedViewController {
                return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc: presentedViewController)
            } else {
                return vc
            }
        }
    }
}

用法:

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

你把密码放哪了?

我在我的演示中尝试了你的代码，我发现，如果你把代码放进去

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool { 

将失败，因为关键窗口已经设置。

但我把你的代码放到了视图控制器中

override func viewDidLoad() {

它就是有用。

太多口味了，但都不是一种反复精心制作的。结合前面的内容:

     func topMostController() -> UIViewController? {
        var from = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
        while (from != nil) {
            if let to = (from as? UITabBarController)?.selectedViewController {
                from = to
            } else if let to = (from as? UINavigationController)?.visibleViewController {
                from = to
            } else if let to = from?.presentedViewController {
                from = to
            } else {
                break
            }
        }
        return from
    }
