Returns the last visible interface controller.

## Declaration

```swift
var visibleInterfaceController: WKInterfaceController? { get }

Or, when the app is launched due to a Handoff activity, use the handleUserActivity(_:) method’s userInfo dictionary to determine what to display. Then use the visibleInterfaceController property to determine whether to push or pop to a different interface controller. This property contains the following values based on the app’s current state:
