UIAlertController custom font, size, color

Question

I am using new UIAlertController for showing alerts. I have this code:

// nil titles break alert interface on iOS 8.0, so we\'ll be using empty strings
UIAle

Use UIAppearance protocol. Example for setting a font - create a category to extend UILabel:

@interface UILabel (FontAppearance)
@property (nonatomic, copy) UIFont * appearanceFont UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR;
@end


@implementation UILabel (FontAppearance)

-(void)setAppearanceFont:(UIFont *)font {
    if (font)
        [self setFont:font];
}

-(UIFont *)appearanceFont {
    return self.font;
}

@end

And its usage:

UILabel * appearanceLabel = [UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:UIAlertController.class, nil];
[appearanceLabel setAppearanceFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:10]]; //for example

Tested and working with style UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet, but I guess it will work with UIAlertControllerStyleAlert too.

P.S. Better check for class availability instead of iOS version:

if ([UIAlertController class]) {
    // UIAlertController code (iOS 8)
} else {
    // UIAlertView code (pre iOS 8)
}
