How to make my sprite kit scene appear above a UIView?

Question

I\'ve done some searching but haven\'t found anything directly addressing my issue: I have an SKScene with several SKNodes each with SKSprite

Answer 1

Your problem is here that you are directly setting SKView as a controller view. To overcome from this issue don't make self.view a type of SKView. Do the following step in your storyboard or Xib :

1. Add an UIImageView on the controller's view first. Set the image as well.
2. Then add a SKView over the UIImageViewand set UIClearColor to the background colour.

So the complete hierarchy is like UIViewController->UIView->UIImageView->SKView
