UIAlertView/UIAlertController iOS 7 and iOS 8 compatibility

Question

I am using Swift to write an app and I need to show an alert. The app must be iOS 7 and iOS 8 compatible. Since UIAlertView has been replaced with UIAlert

Answer 1

If you want to be compatible with iOS 7, just don't use UIAlertController. Simple as that.

UIAlertView has not been replaced, it still works perfectly and will continue to work perfectly for the foreseeable future.
