Presenting modal in iOS 13 fullscreen
With iOS 13, as stated in the Platforms State of the Union during the WWDC 2019, Apple introduced a new default card presentation. In order to force the fullscreen you have to specify it explicitly with: let vc = UIViewController() vc.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen //or .overFullScreen for transparency self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
