iOS Overlay view which always sits on top?

I haven't been able to find anything on this and feel it likely isn't possible in a simple manner.

Can I have a view, such a loading bar for example which constantly sits over every other view controller until I choose to dismiss it but at the same time any underlying view can still be interacted with? Sort of acting like a system view. Be persistent when presenting new view controllers and all.

Thanks.

Rather than adding it to the window, as @JackyBoy suggests, add it to the window's rootViewController's view. That will rotate along with the device. If you just add it to the window, you may have problems with rotation.

UIView *myView = ...
[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController.view addSubview:myView];

Add it as a subview of your window. Like this:

UIView *myView = ...
[self.window addSubview:myView];
