Change button title color in UIAlertView

Question

How can I change the color of the UIAlertView button title.

enter image description here

I want title Ok in red color.

Just a quick question is this iOS7 or iOS8? I'm not sure how they look in iOS8 but `UIAlertView`s have been replaced with `UIAlertController` — Popeye, Jun 11 '14 at 09:31

Actually, you can change the tint color of the view of the UIAlertController in iOS8.

UIAlertController *alertController = ....
[alertController.view setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]];

This works if you subclass the UIAlertController and set the tintColor in viewDidLoad. – mikejonesguy May 14 '16 at 03:00

for Swift 3, use:

alertController.view.tintColor = UIColor.red

AFTER you present your alert controller

The Travis Weerts answer should work if you are using a UIAlertController. For those using UIAlertView, you can use the UIView appearance settings.

You can aim the alerts component this way on iOS < 9 :

[[UIView appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UIAlertView class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[[UIView appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UIAlertController class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

And on iOS 9 :

[[UIView appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:@[[UIAlertView class]]] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[[UIView appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:@[[UIAlertController class]]] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

The best way (And easiest) is the following:

alert = UIAlertController(title: "foo", message: "foo", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction.... foo
...foo
alert.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
alert.view.layer.cornerRadius = 0.5 * alert.view.bounds.size.width

It gives also a plus effect of a "round faded orange circle" in the background.

Hope it helps

Can't customize the appearance of alert views.

For more info UIAlertView Class Reference:

The UIAlertView class is intended to be used as-is and does not support subclassing. The view hierarchy for this class is private and must not be modified.

@NitinGohel Whilst they look simpler I don't think it could have been put any other way since this is basically from the Apple documentation. – Popeye Jun 11 '14 at 09:29

but true is that that is copied from i pasted link. – Nitin Gohel Jun 11 '14 at 09:33

@NitinGohel I suppose but I really don't think it could have been put any other way, that one sentence does cover the whole thing and is definitely a correct answer, so I don't think it should just be a comment. I suppose it would been better if the user referenced it from that link you have provided. – Popeye Jun 11 '14 at 09:53

You can't change alert views. If you really needed you can use custom ones.
