In iOS 8 Apple uses UIAlertController internally to implement the functionality of alert views and action sheets. So when you want to show a UIViewController modally after displaying UIActionSheet or UIAlertView in delegate method like

(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex

and

(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex

you have to first dismiss UIAlertController as follows:

if(SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0"))
{
    UIViewController *vc = [[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window] rootViewController];
    [vc dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:^{

    }];
}

Now you can present a modal UIViewController in iOS 8.
