Get top most UIViewController

by

presentViewController shows a view controller. It doesn’t return a view controller. If you’re not using a UINavigationController, you’re probably looking for presentedViewController and you’ll need to start at the root and iterate down through the presented views.

if var topController = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController {
    while let presentedViewController = topController.presentedViewController {
        topController = presentedViewController
    }

    // topController should now be your topmost view controller
}

For Swift 3+:

if var topController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController {
    while let presentedViewController = topController.presentedViewController {
        topController = presentedViewController
    }

    // topController should now be your topmost view controller
}

For iOS 13+

let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter {$0.isKeyWindow}.first

if var topController = keyWindow?.rootViewController {
    while let presentedViewController = topController.presentedViewController {
        topController = presentedViewController
    }

// topController should now be your topmost view controller
}
