If I have a default ViewControllerA, which presents ViewControllerB with 'OverCurrentContext' UIModalPresentationStyle, then I face a problem that 'viewWillAppear' in ViewControllerA is not called after ViewControllerB is dismissed. Consequently, it would be difficult for me to run some codes in ViewControllerA since I don't know when ViewControllerB is dismissed.
Here is my original description to this problem:

Remember to select ViewControllerA.swift as a custom class in the identify inspector in the storyboard after renaming ViewController.swift as ViewControllerA.swift.
ViewControllerA.swift:
import UIKit
class ViewControllerA: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: (view.frame.width-200)/2, y: 50, width: 200, height: 20))
button.setTitle("Button", for: UIControlState.normal)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.blue, for: UIControlState.normal)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.cyan, for: UIControlState.highlighted)
button.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.center
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(btnPressed), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)
view.addSubview(button)
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
print("viewWillAppear")
}
func btnPressed() {
let controllerB = ViewControllerB()
controllerB.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overCurrentContext
controllerB.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.crossDissolve
controllerB.dismissVCCompletion(){ () in
self.myFuncInViewControllerA()
}
present(controllerB, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func myFuncInViewControllerA() {
print("Back to ViewControllerA!")
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
}
ViewControllerB.swift:
import UIKit
class ViewControllerB: UIViewController {
typealias typeCompletionHandler = () -> ()
var completion : typeCompletionHandler = {}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0, alpha: 0.5)
let viewB = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width*0.6, height: view.frame.height*0.6))
viewB.center = view.center
viewB.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange
let buttonBack = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: (viewB.frame.width-200)/2, y: 100, width: 200, height: 20))
buttonBack.setTitle("Back", for: UIControlState.normal)
buttonBack.setTitleColor(UIColor.blue, for: UIControlState.normal)
buttonBack.setTitleColor(UIColor.cyan, for: UIControlState.highlighted)
buttonBack.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.center
buttonBack.addTarget(self, action: #selector(btnBackPressed), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)
viewB.addSubview(buttonBack)
view.addSubview(viewB)
}
func btnBackPressed() {
dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
self.completion()
})
}
func dismissVCCompletion(completionHandler: @escaping typeCompletionHandler) {
self.completion = completionHandler
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
