You can't do this any more, there is no addSubview for UIAlertView any more in iOS7.

Below are good alternative:

ios-custom-alertview

MZFormSheetController

One alternative in your case is to set alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;

This will add a text field for you. You can access it in the UIAlertView delegate callback by using UITextField *textField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0];.

In Ios7, you need to set,

myAlertView.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;

You can't use addSubview on UIAlertView in iOS7. That's why it is not working, as an alternative you can use a custom view for doing this. Create a custom view and add textfield to it and add animations for this.

You can find customized alertview's on this link: Cocoa Controls

Try this,

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Forgot Password" message:@"Please enter the email ID associated with your Hngre account." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Here you go" otherButtonTitles:@"No, thanks", nil];
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleLoginAndPasswordInput;
[alert textFieldAtIndex:1].secureTextEntry = NO; //Will disable secure text entry for second textfield.
[alert textFieldAtIndex:0].placeholder = @"First Placeholder"; //Will replace "Username"
[alert textFieldAtIndex:1].placeholder = @"Second Placeholder"; //Will replace "Password"
[alert show];

Try MZFormSheetPresentationController by m1entus.

He provides a number of examples on GitHub and CocoaPods and they're ready to use.
