Answer 1

Got it. UIWindow works fine. Code:

// when drag starts
draggingView = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,100,100)];
draggingView.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert;
draggingView.center = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.view.window];
[draggingView makeKeyAndVisible];

// when drag ends
[draggingView release];
draggingView = nil;

Answer 2

Adding the Swift Version:

    let windows: [UIWindow] = UIApplication.shared.windows
    let firstWindow: UIWindow = windows[0]

    firstWindow.addSubview(loadingView)
    firstWindow.bringSubview(toFront: loadingView)
