(Tested with iOS 15.2 running on Xcode 13.2.1)
Improving on Rachid's answer, here is a Swiftier version:
extension UIApplication {
var keyWindow: UIWindow? {
// Get connected scenes
return UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes
// Keep only active scenes, onscreen and visible to the user
.filter { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }
// Keep only the first `UIWindowScene`
.first(where: { $0 is UIWindowScene })
// Get its associated windows
.flatMap({ $0 as? UIWindowScene })?.windows
// Finally, keep only the key window
.first(where: \.isKeyWindow)
}
}
If you want to find the presented UIViewController in the key UIWindow , here is another extension you could find useful:
extension UIApplication {
var keyWindowPresentedController: UIViewController? {
var viewController = self.keyWindow?.rootViewController
// If root `UIViewController` is a `UITabBarController`
if let presentedController = viewController as? UITabBarController {
// Move to selected `UIViewController`
viewController = presentedController.selectedViewController
}
// Go deeper to find the last presented `UIViewController`
while let presentedController = viewController?.presentedViewController {
// If root `UIViewController` is a `UITabBarController`
if let presentedController = presentedController as? UITabBarController {
// Move to selected `UIViewController`
viewController = presentedController.selectedViewController
} else {
// Otherwise, go deeper
viewController = presentedController
}
}
return viewController
}
}
You can put this wherever you want, but I personally added it as an extension to UIViewController.
This allows me to add more useful extensions, like ones to present UIViewControllers more easily for example:
extension UIViewController {
func presentInKeyWindow(animated: Bool = true, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?
.present(self, animated: animated, completion: completion)
}
}
func presentInKeyWindowPresentedController(animated: Bool = true, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
UIApplication.shared.keyWindowPresentedController?
.present(self, animated: animated, completion: completion)
}
}
}
