How to add UIView on the top of all views?

Question

I have such code:

@interface Alert : UIView 
{

}
/*
- (void) initWithTitle:(NSString*)title message:(NSString*)message cancelButtonTitle:(NSString*)cancelButtonTitle otherButtonTitles:(NSString*)buttonTitle,... delegate:(id)delegate;
*/
@end


@implementation Alert

- (void) drawRect:(CGRect)rect 
{
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextClearRect(context, rect); // Очистим context

    CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 255, 0, 0, 1);
    CGContextFillRect(context, CGRectMake(20, 20, 100, 100));
}

- (void) show
{
    self.center = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] center];
    [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] addSubview:self];
    [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] bringSubviewToFront:self];
}

Then I'm use it so:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
     Alert * alert = [[Alert alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}

But it doesn't work(I want to see Alert above all other views). Could you help me?

UIView *spinnerView;//This is your view

self.spinnerView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds.size.width, UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds.size.height)];  
//Based on your requirement change width and height like self.view.bounds.size.width
self.spinnerView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.6];
// [self.view addSubview:self.spinnerView];
UIWindow *currentWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
[currentWindow addSubview:self.spinnerView];

In Swift 5

let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow! 
window.addSubview(self.spinnerView) // Add your view here

One more simple solution is :

yourViewName.layer.zPosition = 1//Here fix your view name
