How to change UIAlertController button text colour in iOS9?

Question

The question is similar to iOS 8 UIActivityViewController and UIAlertController button text color uses window's tintColor but in iOS 9.

I have a UIAlertControlle

Answer 1

swift3

Tried to use UIView.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UIAlertController.self]).tintColor = MyColor but this prevents other items unrelated to the UIAlertController from tintColor configuration. I saw it while trying to change the color of navigation bar button items.

I switched to an extension (based on Mike Taverne's response above) and it works great.

extension UIAlertController {

override open func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()

    //set this to whatever color you like...
    self.view.tintColor = MyColor
}
}
