I have a custom view controller class which presents an alert controller when it receives a not connected notification from my network services class. I want to dismiss the alert controller when I receive a further connected notification from the network services class but I am unable to dismiss the presenting alert.
Here is my custom view controller class;
class CompanyPriceListVC: UITableViewController {
// MARK: - Properties

var companyDetailsVC:CompanyDetailsVC?

I've tried querying the isBeingPresented property of the alert controller but it always tests as false even though I can see the alert controller is being presented.
CodePudding user response：
You could do a check if the currently presented UIViewController is actually the alertController like this:
@objc public func dismissAndFetchStockInfo() {
if presentedViewController == alertController {
alertController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
fetchStockInfo()
}
This is because isBeingPresented is only valid inside the view[Will|Did][Disa|A]ppear methods.
