I am working on project. i have added a simple alertController on clicking signup button. when i click on the button my viewcontroller reloads and then it shows that alertController. It is happening on iOS 13 and swift 5 or above
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Your title", message: "Your message", preferredStyle: .alert)
let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: { action in
})
alert.addAction(ok)
let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { action in
})
alert.addAction(cancel)
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
self.present(alert, animated: true)
})
i resolved my problem by these lines of code
func alert(message: String, title: String = "") {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
let alertAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default) { (action) in
print("Action")
}
alertController.addAction(alertAction)
(UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).alertWindow.isHidden = true
self.presentViewController(alertController: alertController)
// self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func presentViewController(alertController: UIAlertController, completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
if var topController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController {
while let presentedViewController = topController.presentedViewController {
topController = presentedViewController
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
topController.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: completion)
}
}
}
I'm working with PushNotification on iOS app. I would like to show a UIalertcontroller when the app receive a notification.
I try this code below in the AppDelegate:
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
But the UIAlertcontroller is showing in the root View (First screen) and for other uiviewcontroller i got warning or the app crashes.
try this
Objective-C
UIWindow* topWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
topWindow.rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
topWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1;
UIAlertController* alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:#"APNS" message:#"received Notification" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
[alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"OK",#"confirm") style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
// continue your work
// important to hide the window after work completed.
// this also keeps a reference to the window until the action is invoked.
topWindow.hidden = YES; // if you want to hide the topwindow then use this
topWindow = nil; // if you want to remove the topwindow then use this
}]];
[topWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
[topWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
Swift3 and above
var topWindow: UIWindow? = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
topWindow?.rootViewController = UIViewController()
topWindow?.windowLevel = UIWindow.Level.alert + 1
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "APNS", message: "received Notification", preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel) { _ in
// continue your work
// important to hide the window after work completed.
// this also keeps a reference to the window until the action is invoked.
topWindow?.isHidden = true // if you want to hide the topwindow then use this
topWindow = nil // if you want to hide the topwindow then use this
})
topWindow?.makeKeyAndVisible()
topWindow?.rootViewController?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Shortest & Simplest :
Create a extension :
extension UIApplication {
class func topViewController(controller: UIViewController? = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {
if let navigationController = controller as? UINavigationController {
return topViewController(controller: navigationController.visibleViewController)
}
if let tabController = controller as? UITabBarController {
if let selected = tabController.selectedViewController {
return topViewController(controller: selected)
}
}
if let presented = controller?.presentedViewController {
return topViewController(controller: presented)
}
return controller
} }
and then use it anywhere like
UIApplication.topViewController()?.present(UIViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
With this you can present Alert or anything Anywhere
Example :
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Your title", message: "Your message", preferredStyle: .alert)
let cancelButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .cancel, handler: nil)
alert.addAction(cancelButton)
UIApplication.topViewController()?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
ALTERNATE METHOD :
No need to create any Extension or any method or anything simply write the above 3 lines for creating an Alert and for presenting use :
self.window?.rootViewController?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
That's it.! =)

Thanks for reading this.
Swift 4.1
You can use the following code to present alert from AppDelegate
func showAlertFromAppDelegates(){
let alertVC = UIAlertController(title: "Oops" , message: "Presented Alert from AppDelegates", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Okay", style: UIAlertActionStyle.cancel) { (alert) in
exit(0) // Your code here
}
alertVC.addAction(okAction)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
var presentVC = self.window?.rootViewController
while let next = presentVC?.presentedViewController {
presentVC = next
}
presentVC?.present(alertVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
For the easiness, I used category
UIAlertController+UIWindow.h
#interface UIAlertController (UIWindow)
- (void)show;
- (void)show:(BOOL)animated;
#end
UIAlertController+UIWindow.m
#import <objc/runtime.h>
#interface UIAlertController (Private)
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIWindow *alertWindow;
#end
#implementation UIAlertController (Private)
#dynamic alertWindow;
- (void)setAlertWindow:(UIWindow *)alertWindow {
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, #selector(alertWindow), alertWindow, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}
- (UIWindow *)alertWindow {
return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, #selector(alertWindow));
}
#end
#implementation UIAlertController (UIWindow)
- (void)show {
[self show:YES];
}
- (void)show:(BOOL)animated {
[self setupWindow];
[self.alertWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:self animated:animated completion:nil];
}
- (void)setupWindow {
self.alertWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
self.alertWindow.rootViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
id<UIApplicationDelegate> delegate = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
if ([delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(window)]) {
self.alertWindow.tintColor = delegate.window.tintColor;
}
UIWindow *topWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows.lastObject;
self.alertWindow.windowLevel = topWindow.windowLevel + 1;
[self.alertWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
}
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
// precaution to insure window gets destroyed
self.alertWindow.hidden = YES;
self.alertWindow = nil;

Use:
UIAlertController *alertController;

I use the following in my AppDelegate to pop an alert to user when push is received:
let topWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
topWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()
topWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "message", message: "message", preferredStyle: .alert)
let yesButton = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("you pressed Yes, please button")
topWindow.isHidden = true
topWindow.rootViewController?.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("consumerProfile")
})
let noButton = UIAlertAction(title: "CANCEL", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("you pressed No, thanks button")
topWindow.isHidden = true
})
alert.addAction(yesButton)
alert.addAction(noButton)
topWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
topWindow.rootViewController?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: { _ in })
My problem is in:
topWindow.rootViewController?.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("consumerProfile")
The function openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier only exists in views based on a specific UIViewController class named BaseViewController so i get the following error:
Value of type 'UIViewController' has no member 'openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier'
Just put your custom class as rootViewController
let topWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
let topViewController = BaseViewController()
topWindow.rootViewController = topViewController
topWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "message", message: "message", preferredStyle: .alert)
let yesButton = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("you pressed Yes, please button")
topWindow.isHidden = true
topViewController.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("consumerProfile")
})
let noButton = UIAlertAction(title: "CANCEL", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("you pressed No, thanks button")
topWindow.isHidden = true
})
alert.addAction(yesButton)
alert.addAction(noButton)
topWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
topWindow.rootViewController?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: { _ in })
UPDATE
Because your ViewController doesn't have init() try this code:
let topWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil) // Name of storyboard should be same as your
let topViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: identifier) as? BaseViewController // be sure that `identifier` of BaseViewController is same as in storyboard
topWindow.rootViewController = topViewController
topWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "message", message: "message", preferredStyle: .alert)
let yesButton = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("you pressed Yes, please button")
topWindow.isHidden = true
topViewController.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("consumerProfile")
})
let noButton = UIAlertAction(title: "CANCEL", style: .default, handler: {(_ action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("you pressed No, thanks button")
topWindow.isHidden = true
})
alert.addAction(yesButton)
alert.addAction(noButton)
topWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()
topWindow.rootViewController?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: { _ in })
UPDATE 2
There is your identifier = storyboard ID

Hello I have a utility class in which I have declared AlertViewFunction like this
func displayAlertMessage(userMessage: String,//controller){
let myAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: userMessage, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert);
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil)
myAlert.addAction(okAction);
self.presentViewController(myAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
The problem is I can't use self here
self.presentViewController(myAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
I want to pass a controller to this function so I can use like this
controller.presentViewController(myAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
How Can I pass a controller from any ViewController. Lets say If I am in LoginViewController
Utility().displayAlertMessage(Message.INTERNETISNOTCONNECTED,//controller)
Utility().displayAlertMessage(Message.INTERNETISNOTCONNECTED, controller: self)
and
func displayAlertMessage(userMessage: String, controller: UIViewController)
{
controller?.presentViewController(myAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
pass in the view controller as an argument to the function.
func displayAlertMessage(controller: UIViewController, title: String, message: String?) {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: nil)
alert.addAction(okAction)
controller.presentViewController(alert, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
Alternatively you can even return the alert to the caller of the function for further customization by saying:
func displayAlertMessage(title: String, message: String?) -> UIAlertController {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: nil)
alert.addAction(okAction)
return alert
}
class controller: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let alert = displayAlertMessage("title", message: nil)
presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
