The issue is also happening on latest iOS 14 beta 5. the below workaround solution works for me, presenting a invisible view controller first and then presenting activity vc. so, it activity vc won't harm required vc, invisible vc will get dismissed instead. let vc = UIViewController() vc.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext vc.view.backgroundColor = .clear avc.completionWithItemsHandler = { [weak vc] (_, _, _, _) in if let pvc = vc?.presentingViewController { 		 pvc.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil) } else { 			vc?.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil) } } present(vc, animated: false) { [weak vc] in vc?.present(avc, animated: true) }
