下面是一个简单的方法来添加自定义模糊，而不用与私有api讨价还价使用UIViewPropertyAnimator:

首先，声明class属性:

var blurAnimator: UIViewPropertyAnimator!

然后在viewDidLoad()中设置你的模糊视图:

let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView()
blurEffectView.backgroundColor = .clear
blurEffectView.frame = view.bounds
blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
view.addSubview(blurEffectView)

blurAnimator = UIViewPropertyAnimator(duration: 1, curve: .linear) { [blurEffectView] in
    blurEffectView.effect = UIBlurEffect(style: .light)
}

blurAnimator.fractionComplete = 0.15 // set the blur intensity.    

注意:此解决方案不适用于UICollectionView/UITableView单元格

objective - c

UIVisualEffect *blurEffect;
blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleDark];
UIVisualEffectView *visualEffectView;
visualEffectView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
visualEffectView.frame = self.accessImageView.bounds;
[self.accessImageView addSubview:visualEffectView];

斯威夫特3.0

let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: UIBlurEffectStyle.dark)
let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
blurEffectView.frame = view.bounds
blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
view.addSubview(blurEffectView)

这是乔伊回答的重要补充

这适用于你想用UINavigationController呈现一个模糊背景的UIViewController的情况。

// suppose you've done blur effect with your presented view controller
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController];

// this is very important, if you don't do this, the blur effect will darken after view did appeared
// the reason is that you actually present navigation controller, not presented controller
// please note it's "OverFullScreen", not "OverCurrentContext"
nav.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;

UIViewController *presentedViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; 
// the presented view controller's modalPresentationStyle is "OverCurrentContext"
presentedViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;

[presentingViewController presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];

享受吧!

func blurBackgroundUsingImage(image: UIImage)
{
    var frame                   = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height)
    var imageView               = UIImageView(frame: frame)
    imageView.image             = image
    imageView.contentMode       = .ScaleAspectFill
    var blurEffect              = UIBlurEffect(style: .Light)
    var blurEffectView          = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
    blurEffectView.frame        = frame
    var transparentWhiteView    = UIView(frame: frame)
    transparentWhiteView.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 1.0, alpha: 0.30)
    var viewsArray              = [imageView, blurEffectView, transparentWhiteView]

    for index in 0..<viewsArray.count {
        if let oldView = self.view.viewWithTag(index + 1) {
            var oldView         = self.view.viewWithTag(index + 1)
            // Must explicitly unwrap oldView to access its removeFromSuperview() method as of Xcode 6 Beta 5
            oldView!.removeFromSuperview()
        }
        var viewToInsert        = viewsArray[index]
        self.view.insertSubview(viewToInsert, atIndex: index + 1)
        viewToInsert.tag        = index + 1
    }
}

这是偶然发现的，给了我真正伟大的(几乎复制与苹果)的结果，并使用加速框架。——http://pastebin.com/6cs6hsyQ 不是我写的

2019代码

下面是一个使用@AdamBardon技巧的更完整的例子。

@IBDesignable class ButtonOrSomethingWithBlur: UIButton {

    var ba: UIViewPropertyAnimator?
    private lazy var blurry: BlurryBall = { return BlurryBall() }()

    override func didMoveToSuperview() {
        super.didMoveToSuperview()
        
        // Setup the blurry ball.  BE SURE TO TEARDOWN.
        // Use superb trick to access the internal guassian level of Apple's
        // standard gpu blurrer per stackoverflow.com/a/55378168/294884
        
        superview?.insertSubview(blurry, belowSubview: self)
        ba = UIViewPropertyAnimator(duration:1, curve:.linear) {[weak self] in
            // note, those duration/curve values are simply unusued
            self?.blurry.effect = UIBlurEffect(style: .extraLight)
        }
        ba?.fractionComplete = live.largeplaybutton_blurfactor
    }
    
    override func willMove(toSuperview newSuperview: UIView?) {
        
        // Teardown for the blurry ball - critical
        
        if newSuperview == nil { print("safe teardown")
            ba?.stopAnimation(true)
            ba?.finishAnimation(at: .current)
        }
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() { super.layoutSubviews()
        blurry.frame = bounds, your drawing frame or whatever
    }

{题外话:作为一个通用的iOS工程问题，didMoveToWindow可能比didMoveToSuperview更适合你。其次，您可以使用其他一些方法来执行拆卸操作，但是拆卸操作就是这里显示的两行代码。

bluryball只是一个UIVisualEffectView。注意视觉效果视图的初始值。如果你碰巧需要圆角或者其他东西，在这门课上做吧。

class BlurryBall: UIVisualEffectView {
    
    override init(effect: UIVisualEffect?) { super.init(effect: effect)
        commonInit() }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        commonInit() }
    
    private func commonInit() {
        clipsToBounds = true
        backgroundColor = .clear
    }
    
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        layer.cornerRadius = bounds.width / 2
    }
}
