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

Try below code. It works fine for both iOS 8 and below version.

if (IS_OS_8_OR_LATER) {
    UIAlertController *alertVC = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:title message:msg preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];

    UIAlertAction *cancelAction = [UIAlertAction
                                 actionWithTitle:@"OK"
                                 style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
                                 handler:^(UIAlertAction *action)
                                 {

                                 }];
    [alertVC addAction:cancelAction];

    [[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:0] rootViewController] presentViewController:alertVC animated:YES completion:^{

    }];
}
else{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title message:msg delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
    [alert show];
}
