在iOS 8.3(也许更早)的Swift中，重写视图控制器中的motionBegan或motionEnded方法非常简单:

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func motionBegan(motion: UIEventSubtype, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
        println("started shaking!")
    }

    override func motionEnded(motion: UIEventSubtype, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
        println("ended shaking!")
    }
}

查看GLPaint示例。

最简单的解决方案是为你的应用程序派生一个新的根窗口:

@implementation OMGWindow : UIWindow

- (void)motionEnded:(UIEventSubtype)motion withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    if (event.type == UIEventTypeMotion && motion == UIEventSubtypeMotionShake) {
        // via notification or something   
    }
}
@end

然后在你的应用委托中:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    self.window = [[OMGWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
    //…
}

如果你使用的是故事板，这可能会更棘手，我不知道你在应用委托中需要精确的代码。

这是你需要的基本委托代码:

#define kAccelerationThreshold      2.2

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UIAccelerometerDelegate Methods
    - (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)acceleration 
    {   
        if (fabsf(acceleration.x) > kAccelerationThreshold || fabsf(acceleration.y) > kAccelerationThreshold || fabsf(acceleration.z) > kAccelerationThreshold) 
            [self myShakeMethodGoesHere];   
    }

也在接口中的适当代码中设置。即:

@interface MyViewController: UIViewController <UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource, UIAccelerometerDelegate>

在ViewController中添加以下方法。M文件，它的工作正常

    -(BOOL) canBecomeFirstResponder
    {
         /* Here, We want our view (not viewcontroller) as first responder 
         to receive shake event message  */

         return YES;
    }

    -(void) motionEnded:(UIEventSubtype)motion withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {
            if(event.subtype==UIEventSubtypeMotionShake)
            {
                    // Code at shake event

                    UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Motion" message:@"Phone Vibrate"delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
                    [alert show];
                    [alert release];

                    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
             }
    }
    - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
    {
             [super viewDidAppear:animated];
             [self becomeFirstResponder];  // View as first responder 
     }

在swift 5中，这就是如何捕捉运动并进行检查

override func motionEnded(_ motion: UIEventSubtype, with event: UIEvent?) {
   if motion == .motionShake 
   {
      print("shaking")
   }
}
