泽夫·艾森伯格的答案简单而直接，但它并不总是有效，它可能会因为以下警告信息而失败:

Warning: Attempt to present <UIAlertController: 0x7fe6fd951e10>  
 on <ThisViewController: 0x7fe6fb409480> which is already presenting 
 <AnotherViewController: 0x7fe6fd109c00>

这是因为windows rootViewController不在所呈现视图的顶部。为了纠正这个问题，我们需要沿着表示链向上走，正如我用Swift 3编写的UIAlertController扩展代码所示:

   /// show the alert in a view controller if specified; otherwise show from window's root pree
func show(inViewController: UIViewController?) {
    if let vc = inViewController {
        vc.present(self, animated: true, completion: nil)
    } else {
        // find the root, then walk up the chain
        var viewController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
        var presentedVC = viewController?.presentedViewController
        while presentedVC != nil {
            viewController = presentedVC
            presentedVC = viewController?.presentedViewController
        }
        // now we present
        viewController?.present(self, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

func show() {
    show(inViewController: nil)
}

经过测试并确认，上述逻辑在新推出的iOS 11转基因种子中仍然有效。然而，敏捷视觉投票最多的方法并没有:在新创建的UIWindow中显示的警报视图位于键盘下方，可能会阻止用户点击按钮。这是因为在iOS 11中，所有高于键盘窗口的窗口级别都会降低到低于键盘窗口的级别。

从keyWindow中呈现的一个工件是，当警报出现时，键盘向下滑动，当警报被取消时，键盘再次向上滑动。如果你想让键盘在显示过程中保持在那里，你可以尝试从顶部窗口本身显示，如下所示代码:

func show(inViewController: UIViewController?) {
    if let vc = inViewController {
        vc.present(self, animated: true, completion: nil)
    } else {
        // get a "solid" window with the highest level
        let alertWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter { $0.tintColor != nil || $0.className() == "UIRemoteKeyboardWindow" }.sorted(by: { (w1, w2) -> Bool in
            return w1.windowLevel < w2.windowLevel
        }).last
        // save the top window's tint color
        let savedTintColor = alertWindow?.tintColor
        alertWindow?.tintColor = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.tintColor

        // walk up the presentation tree
        var viewController = alertWindow?.rootViewController
        while viewController?.presentedViewController != nil {
            viewController = viewController?.presentedViewController
        }

        viewController?.present(self, animated: true, completion: nil)
        // restore the top window's tint color
        if let tintColor = savedTintColor {
            alertWindow?.tintColor = tintColor
        }
    }
}

上述代码唯一不太好的部分是它检查类名UIRemoteKeyboardWindow，以确保我们也可以包括它。尽管如此，上面的代码在iOS 9、10和11 GM种子中工作得很好，有正确的色调颜色，没有键盘滑动工件。

iOS13场景支持(当使用UIWindowScene时)

import UIKit

private var windows: [String:UIWindow] = [:]

extension UIWindowScene {
    static var focused: UIWindowScene? {
        return UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes
            .first { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive && $0 is UIWindowScene } as? UIWindowScene
    }
}

class StyledAlertController: UIAlertController {

    var wid: String?

    func present(animated: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)?) {

        //let window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
        guard let window = UIWindowScene.focused.map(UIWindow.init(windowScene:)) else {
            return
        }
        window.rootViewController = UIViewController()
        window.windowLevel = .alert + 1
        window.makeKeyAndVisible()
        window.rootViewController!.present(self, animated: animated, completion: completion)

        wid = UUID().uuidString
        windows[wid!] = window
    }

    open override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
        if let wid = wid {
            windows[wid] = nil
        }

    }

}

交叉张贴我的答案，因为这两个线程没有被标记为欺骗…

现在UIViewController是responder chain的一部分，你可以这样做:

if let vc = self.nextResponder()?.targetForAction(#selector(UIViewController.presentViewController(_:animated:completion:)), withSender: self) as? UIViewController {

    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "A snappy title", message: "Something bad happened", preferredStyle: .Alert)
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil))

    vc.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

在显示消息后隐藏窗口是很重要的。

func showErrorMessage(_ message: String) {
    let alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
    alertWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()

    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: message, preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
    alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Close", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel, handler: { _ in
        alertWindow.isHidden = true
    }))
    
    alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindow.Level.alert + 1;
    alertWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
    alertWindow.rootViewController?.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

另一个选择:

    var topController:UIViewController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow!.rootViewController!
    while ((topController.presentedViewController) != nil) {
        topController = topController.presentedViewController!
    }
    topController.present(alert, animated:true, completion:nil)

这在Swift中适用于普通的视图控制器，即使屏幕上有一个导航控制器:

let alert = UIAlertController(...)

let alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
alertWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()
alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1;
alertWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
alertWindow.rootViewController?.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
