I am working on integrating an ad provider into my app currently. I wish to place a fading message in front of the ad when the ad displays but have been completely unsuccess
Swift 2 version of Jere's answer:
UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow!.bringSubviewToFront(YourViewHere)
Swift 3:
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow!.bringSubview(toFront: YourViewHere)
Swift 4:
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow!.bringSubviewToFront(YourViewHere)
Hope it saves someone 10 seconds! ;)
