@AlberZou略有变化，使用计算变量而不是函数

extension UIViewController {
  var topMostViewController : UIViewController {

    if let presented = self.presentedViewController {
      return presented.topMostViewController
    }

    if let navigation = self as? UINavigationController {
      return navigation.visibleViewController?.topMostViewController ?? navigation
    }

    if let tab = self as? UITabBarController {
      return tab.selectedViewController?.topMostViewController ?? tab
    }

    return self
  }
}

extension UIApplication {
  var topMostViewController : UIViewController? {
    return self.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.topMostViewController
  }
}

然后说

if let topViewControler = UIApplication.shared.topMostViewController {
    ... do stuff
}

presentViewController显示一个视图控制器。它不会返回一个视图控制器。如果你不使用UINavigationController，你可能正在寻找presenttedviewcontroller，你需要从根开始，向下迭代所呈现的视图。

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

    // topController should now be your topmost view controller
}

对于Swift 3+:

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

    // topController should now be your topmost view controller
}

适用于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
}

对于任何寻求快速5/iOS 13+解决方案的人(keywindow自iOS 13以来已弃用)

extension UIApplication {

    class func getTopMostViewController() -> UIViewController? {
        let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter {$0.isKeyWindow}.first
        if var topController = keyWindow?.rootViewController {
            while let presentedViewController = topController.presentedViewController {
                topController = presentedViewController
            }
            return topController
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }
}

在一个非常罕见的情况下，使用自定义segue，最顶层的视图控制器不在导航堆栈或选项卡栏控制器中或被呈现，但它的视图被插入到关键窗口子视图的顶部。

在这种情况下，有必要检查UIApplication.shared.keyWindow.subviews.last == self。视图来确定当前视图控制器是否是最顶端的。

    extension UIApplication {
        
       public var mainKeyWindow: UIWindow? {
           if #available(iOS 13, *) {
             return UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes
            .filter { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }
            .first(where: { $0 is UIWindowScene })
            .flatMap { $0 as? UIWindowScene }?.windows
            .first(where: \.isKeyWindow)
           } else {
              return UIApplication.shared.windows.first { $0.isKeyWindow }
           }
        }
    

    public var rootViewController: UIViewController? {
        guard let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.mainKeyWindow, let rootViewController = keyWindow.rootViewController else {
            return nil
        }
        return rootViewController
    }

    public func topViewController(controller: UIViewController? = UIApplication.shared.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {

        if controller == nil {
            return topViewController(controller: rootViewController)
        }
        
        if let navigationController = controller as? UINavigationController {
            return topViewController(controller: navigationController.visibleViewController)
        }

        if let tabController = controller as? UITabBarController {
            if let selectedViewController = tabController.selectedViewController {
                return topViewController(controller: selectedViewController)
            }
        }

        if let presentedViewController = controller?.presentedViewController {
            return topViewController(controller: presentedViewController)
        }

        return controller
    }
}

Swift 5.2及以上版本

基于Dianz的答案，Objective-C版本

- (UIViewController *) topViewController {
   UIViewController *baseVC = UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow.rootViewController;
   if ([baseVC isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
       return ((UINavigationController *)baseVC).visibleViewController;
   }

   if ([baseVC isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]]) {
       UIViewController *selectedTVC = ((UITabBarController*)baseVC).selectedViewController;
       if (selectedTVC) {
           return selectedTVC;
       }
   }

   if (baseVC.presentedViewController) {
       return baseVC.presentedViewController;
   }
   return baseVC;
}
