How do I get the keyWindow reference in a swift app?

Question

In Objective-C in the viewDidLoad method of a UIViewController I do this to get the keyWindow reference in my iOS app:

 UIWindow * keyWindow = [[UIApplication sh

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:

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)
}
