How to present UIAlertView from appDelegate

Question

I m trying to display a UIAlertView from the appDelegate in didReceiveRemoteNotification when the app receive a push notification.

I ve this error :

  Warning: Attempt to present <UIAlertController: 0x14c5494c0> on <UINavigationController:
  0x14c60ce00> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!

here is my code :

func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: NSDictionary) {

    var contentPush: NSDictionary = userInfo.objectForKey("aps") as NSDictionary

    var message = contentPush.objectForKey("alert") as String



    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Default Style", message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)

    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel) { (action) in
                    // ...
    }
    alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

    let OKAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default) { (action) in

        let photoPushedVc = self.storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("CommentTableViewController") as CommentTableViewController

        println("the fetched post is \(post)")

        photoPushedVc.post = post

        let activeVc = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController

        activeVc?.presentViewController(photoPushedVc, animated: true, completion: nil)
   }

   alertController.addAction(OKAction)

   let activeVc = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController


   activeVc?.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)}

Answer 1

To generate AlertController Dialog Box from AppDelegate using Objective-C,

UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"Hello World!" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
UIAlertAction* ok = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"OK" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:nil];
[alertController addAction:ok];

Type 1

UIWindow *alertWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
alertWindow.rootViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1;
[alertWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
[alertWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

Type 2

UIViewController *topController = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;
while (topController.presentedViewController) {
    topController = topController.presentedViewController;
}
[topController presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

Both are tested and working fine.
