| presentationContextViewController = context | |
| } | |
| if presentationContextViewController?.presentedViewController == nil { | |
| if let navigationController = presentationContextViewController as? UINavigationController { | |
| return navigationController.topViewController | |
| } | |
| return presentationContextViewController | |
| } | |
| return presentationContext(context: presentationContextViewController?.presentedViewController) | |
