Detecting sheet was dismissed on iOS 13

问题:

Before iOS 13, presented view controllers used to cover the entire screen. And, when dismissed, the parent view controller viewDidAppear function were executed.

Now iOS 13 will present view controllers as a sheet as default, which means the card will partially cover the underlying view controller, which means that viewDidAppear will not be called, because the parent view controller has never actually disappeared.

Is there a way to detect that the presented view controller sheet was dismissed? Some other function I can override in the parent view controller rather than using some sort of delegate?

Yes.

No. "Some sort of delegate" is how you do it. Make yourself the presentation controller's delegate and override presentationControllerDidDismiss(_:).

The lack of a general runtime-generated event informing you that a presented view controller, whether fullscreen or not, has been dismissed, is indeed troublesome; but it's not a new issue, because there have always been non-fullscreen presented view controllers. It's just that now (in iOS 13) there are more of them! I devote a separate question-and-answer to this topic elsewhere: Unified UIViewController "became frontmost" detection?.

Here's a code example of a parent view-controller which is notified when the child view-controller it presents as a sheet (i.e., in the default iOS 13 manner) is dismissed:

public final class Parent: UIViewController, UIAdaptivePresentationControllerDelegate
{
  // This is assuming that the segue is a storyboard segue; 
  // if you're manually presenting, just see the delegate there.
  public override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?)
  {
    if segue.identifier == "mySegue" {
      segue.destination.presentationController?.delegate = self;
    }
  }

  public func presentationControllerDidDismiss(
    _ presentationController: UIPresentationController)
  {
    // Only called when the sheet is dismissed by DRAGGING.
    // You'll need something extra if you call .dismiss() on the child.
    // (I found that overriding dismiss in the child and calling
    // presentationController.delegate?.presentationControllerDidDismiss
    // works well).
  }
}

Jerland2's answer is confused, since (a) the original questioner wanted to get a function call when the sheet is dismissed (whereas he implemented presentationControllerDidAttemptToDismiss, which is called when the user tries and fails to dismiss the sheet), and (b) setting isModalInPresentation is entirely orthogonal and in fact will make the presented sheet undismissable (which is the opposite of what OP wants).

Another option to get back viewWillAppear and viewDidAppear is set

let vc = UIViewController()
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen

this option cover full screen and after dismiss, calls above methods

For future readers here is a more complete answer with implementation:

1. In the root view controllers prepare for segue add the following (Assuming your modal has a nav controller)

    // Modal Dismiss iOS 13
    modalNavController.presentationController?.delegate = modalVc

2. In the modal view controller add the following delegate + method

// MARK: - iOS 13 Modal (Swipe to Dismiss)

extension ModalViewController: UIAdaptivePresentationControllerDelegate {
    func presentationControllerDidAttemptToDismiss(_ presentationController: UIPresentationController) {


        print("slide to dismiss stopped")
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

3. Ensure in the modal View Controller that the following property is true in order for the delegate method to be called

    self.isModalInPresentation = true

4. Profit

From my point of view, Apple should not set pageSheet is the default modalPresentationStyle

I'd like to bring fullScreen style back to default by using swizzling

Like this:

private func _swizzling(forClass: AnyClass, originalSelector: Selector, swizzledSelector: Selector) {
    if let originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(forClass, originalSelector),
       let swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(forClass, swizzledSelector) {
        method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod)
    }
}

extension UIViewController {

    static func preventPageSheetPresentationStyle () {
        UIViewController.preventPageSheetPresentation
    }

    static let preventPageSheetPresentation: Void = {
        if #available(iOS 13, *) {
            _swizzling(forClass: UIViewController.self,
                       originalSelector: #selector(present(_: animated: completion:)),
                       swizzledSelector: #selector(_swizzledPresent(_: animated: completion:)))
        }
    }()

    @available(iOS 13.0, *)
    private func _swizzledPresent(_ viewControllerToPresent: UIViewController,
                                        animated flag: Bool,
                                        completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
        if viewControllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle == .pageSheet
                   || viewControllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle == .automatic {
            viewControllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
        }
        _swizzledPresent(viewControllerToPresent, animated: flag, completion: completion)
    }
}

And then put this line to your AppDelegate

UIViewController.preventPageSheetPresentationStyle()

回答6:

wouldn't it be simple to call the presentingViewController.viewWillAppear? befor dismissing?

self.presentingViewController?.viewWillAppear(false)
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
