I came to this question when I was searching for getting window in swift. If you want to get window instead of keyWindow, try this (Swift 2):
if let app = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as? AppDelegate, let window = app.window {
MBProgressHUD.show(text, view:window)
}
Updated for Swift 3: (Thanks @Trevor)
if let app = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate, let window = app.window {
MBProgressHUD.show(text, view:window)
}
