Dismiss more than one view controller simultaneously

Question

I\'m making a game using SpriteKit. I have 3 viewControllers: selecting level vc, game vc, and win vc. After the game is over, I want to show the win vc, then if I press OK

Answer 1

You can dismiss WinVC's presenting controller (GameViewController) in the completion block:

let presentingViewController = self.presentingViewController
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: {
  presentingViewController?.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: {})
})

Alternatively, you could reach out to the root view controller and call dismissViewControllerAnimated, which will dismiss both modal viewcontrollers in a single animation:

self.presentingViewController?.presentingViewController?.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: {})

Answer 2

You should be able to call:

self.presentingViewController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: {});

(You may need to add ? or ! somewhere - I'm not a swift developer)

Answer 3

I had some animation issues when trying the accepted answer in my application. The previously presented views would flash or try to animate on the screen. This was my solution:

     if let first = presentingViewController,
        let second = first.presentingViewController,
            let third = second.presentingViewController {
                second.view.isHidden = true
                first.view.isHidden = true
                    third.dismiss(animated: true)

     }

Answer 4

Although Rafeels answer is acceptable. Not everybody uses Segue's.

For me the following solution works best

if let viewControllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers {
   let viewControllerArray = viewControllers.filter { 
       $0 is CustomAViewController || $0 is CustomBViewController  }

    DispatchQueue.main.async {
      self.navigationController?.setViewControllers(viewControllerArray,
                                                    animated: true)
    }
}

Answer 5

Swift 4.0

 let presentingViewController = self.presentingViewController               
 presentingViewController?.presentingViewController?.presentingViewController?.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil)

Answer 6

@Ken Toh's comment was what worked for me in this situation -- call dismiss from the view controller that you want to show after everything else is dismissed.

If you have a "stack" of 3 presented view controllers A, B and C, where C is on top, then calling A.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil) will dismiss B and C simultaneously.

If you don't have a reference to the root of the stack, you could chain a couple of accesses to presentingViewController to get to it. Something like this:

self.presentingViewController?.presentingViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
