你可以在AppDelegate中定义一个UIViewController变量，并在每个viewWillAppear中设置这个变量为self。(然而，dianz的答案是最好的答案。)

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    let appDel = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
    appDel.currentVC = self
}

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
}

@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
}

在Swift 3中找到可见的viewController

if let viewControllers = window?.rootViewController?.childViewControllers {

     let prefs = UserDefaults.standard

     if viewControllers[viewControllers.count - 1] is ABCController{
        print("[ABCController] is visible")

     }
}

这段代码找到最后添加的或最后可见的活动控制器。

我已经在AppDelegate中使用它来查找活动视图控制器

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
        }
    }
}

斯威夫特3.0

extension UIWindow {


    func visibleViewController() -> UIViewController? {
        if let rootViewController: UIViewController  = self.rootViewController {
            return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc: rootViewController)
        }
        return nil
    }

    class func getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc:UIViewController) -> UIViewController {

        if vc.isKind(of: UINavigationController.self) {

            let navigationController = vc as! UINavigationController
            return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom( vc: navigationController.visibleViewController!)

        } else if vc.isKind(of: UITabBarController.self) {

            let tabBarController = vc as! UITabBarController
            return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc: tabBarController.selectedViewController!)

        } else {

            if let presentedViewController = vc.presentedViewController {

                return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc: presentedViewController)

            } else {

                return vc;
            }
        }
    }
