Add a custom view into the alert view.

Change preferredStyle to .alert and .actionsheet as per the requirement.

func showPopUpWithTextView() {
        let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "\n\n\n\n\n\n", message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

        let margin:CGFloat = 8.0
        let rect = CGRect(x: margin, y: margin, width: alertController.view.bounds.size.width - margin * 4.0, height: 100.0)
        let textView = UITextView(frame: rect)
        textView.backgroundColor = .clear

        alertController.view.addSubview(textView)

        let submitAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Something", style: .default, handler: {(alert: UIAlertAction!) in print("Submit")
            print(textView.text)
        })

        let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: {(alert: UIAlertAction!) in print("cancel")})

        alertController.addAction(submitAction)
        alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

        self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion:{})
    }
