Transparent ViewController to See Parent Below?

I have been searching for the solution. Now thanks to iOS 8. They has introduced couple of new modalPresentationStyle. one among them is UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext. Used the same to solve the this issue.

viewcontroller.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;

Hope this helps.

@Josh Kahane set the view controller that will present the transparent view controller with this code at the -ViewDidLoad and be sure to set the alpha channel of the UIViewController View to be lower then 1.

Code:

self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
