If I'm understanding you correctly, you can use NSClassFromString. Do keep in mind that iOS doesn't use any real namespacing so your class string will have to be "SourceAppName.ClassName" like so:

let className = "SourceAppName.SomeViewControllerOrClass"
let grabbedClass = NSClassFromString(className!) as! UIViewController.Type
let helloWorldClass = grabbedClass.init()
