Swift Modal View Controller with transparent background

modal-view.md

You can do it like this:

In your main view controller:

func showModal() {
    let modalViewController = ModalViewController()
    modalViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .OverCurrentContext
    presentViewController(modalViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

In your modal view controller:

class ModalViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
        view.opaque = false
    }
}

If you are working with a storyboard:

Just add a Storyboard Seque with Kind set to Present Modally to your modal view controller and on this view controller set the following values:

Background = Clear Color
Drawing = Uncheck the Opaque checkbox
Presentation = Over Current Context

As Crashalot pointed out in his comment: Make sure the segue only uses Default for both Presentation and Transition. Using Current Context for Presentation makes the modal turn black instead of remaining transparent.

This will not work with tabbar app. over current context open the model from below the tabbar

For tab bars u can use .overFullScreen

For tab bars u can use .overFullScreen

Working

Is there a way to do this without using Modals? I've created a custom animation between two view controllers and have some animation stuff going on (Shared Element Transitions) that don't work in a Modal context...

Works perfectly.
