Answer 1

Use following snippet to do it on iOS 8 onwards:

For Objective C:

UIViewController *walkThru = [self.storyboard   instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"WalkThroughScene"];
walkThru.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = YES;
walkThru.definesPresentationContext = YES;
[walkThru setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:walkThru animated:YES completion:nil];

For Swift 2 :

let viewController : XYZViewController =     self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier(“XYZIdentifier”) as! XYZViewController
viewController.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = true
viewController.definesPresentationContext = true
viewController.modalPresentationStyle=UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

For Swift 4 :

let viewController =  self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier:  "XYZIdentifier") as! XYZViewController
viewController.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = true
viewController.definesPresentationContext = true
viewController.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
self.present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

And the backgroundcolor of your presented viewController should be clearColor.
