Answer 1

Swift 3, xcode 8.1

You can use small extension to place UIActivityIndicatorView in the centre of UIView and inherited UIView classes:

Code

extension UIActivityIndicatorView {

    convenience init(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle, color: UIColor, placeInTheCenterOf parentView: UIView) {
        self.init(activityIndicatorStyle: activityIndicatorStyle)
        center = parentView.center
        self.color = color
        parentView.addSubview(self)
    }
}

How to use

let activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: .whiteLarge, color: .gray,  placeInTheCenterOf: view)
activityIndicator.startAnimating()

Full Example

In this example UIActivityIndicatorView placed in the centre of the ViewControllers view:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
        let activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: .whiteLarge, color: .gray,  placeInTheCenterOf: view)
        activityIndicator.startAnimating()
    }
}

extension UIActivityIndicatorView {

    convenience init(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle, color: UIColor, placeInTheCenterOf parentView: UIView) {
        self.init(activityIndicatorStyle: activityIndicatorStyle)
        center = parentView.center
        self.color = color
        parentView.addSubview(self)
    }
}
