Answer 1

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.1

Alert with two Textfields and Read TextField text data and present alert on top of all views.

func alertWithTF(title: String, message: String) {
    //Step : 1
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)

    //Step : 2
    alert.addAction (UIAlertAction(title: "Save", style: .default) { (alertAction) in
        let textField = alert.textFields![0]
        let textField2 = alert.textFields![1]
        if textField.text != "" {
            //Read textfield data
            print(textField.text!)
            print("TF 1 : \(textField.text!)")
        } else {
            print("TF 1 is Empty...")
        }
        if textField2.text != "" {
            //Read textfield data
            print(textField2.text!)
            print("TF 2 : \(textField2.text!)")
        } else {
            print("TF 2 is Empty...")
        }
    })

    //Step : 3
    //For first TF
    alert.addTextField { (textField) in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter your first name"
        textField.textColor = .red
    }
    //For second TF
    alert.addTextField { (textField) in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter your last name"
        textField.textColor = .blue
    }

    //Cancel action
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default) { (alertAction) in })
   self.present(alert, animated:true, completion: nil)

}

If you want to present aleert on top of all views.

Here from above code remove this last line self.present(alert, animated:true, completion: nil) and add below code.

//Present alert on top of all views.
let alertWindow = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
alertWindow.rootViewController = UIViewController()
alertWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelAlert + 1

alertWindow.makeKeyAndVisible()

alertWindow.rootViewController?.present(alert, animated:true, completion: nil)

Now call like this

alertWithTF(title: "This is title", message: "This is message")
