Attempt to present UIViewController on UIViewController whose view is not in the window hierarchy

Question

Just started using Xcode 4.5 and I got this error in the console:

Warning: Attempt to present < finishViewController: 0x1e56e0a0 > on < ViewCont

Answer 1

In my situation, I was not able to put mine in a class override. So, here is what I got:

let viewController = self // I had viewController passed in as a function,
                          // but otherwise you can do this


// Present the view controller
let currentViewController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
currentViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)

if viewController.presentedViewController == nil {
    currentViewController?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
    viewController.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
