How to change tint color of UIAlertController?

Question

Can I change colors of the UIAlertController ? A standard color is a blue color. And it's much close to the standard iOS apps. If it's customizable? How can I change colors of this? For example a button color.

Thanks!

Has a working method come up yet? All below answers are affected by the same bug. — Daniel Springer, Dec 23 '18 at 04:49

You could just change the tintColor of the underlying view, however, due to a known bug introduced in iOS 9 (https://openradar.appspot.com/22209332), the tintColor is overridden by the application window's tintColor.

You can either:

Change the app tintColor in the AppDelegate.

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject : AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    self.window.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
    return true
}

Reapply the color in the completion block.

self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: {() -> Void in
    alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
})

alertController.view.tintColor = [UIColor yellowColor]; Works just fine for me – Jargen89 Dec 02 '16 at 14:19

In Swift, you could do something like this:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "This is an alert.", preferredStyle: .Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil))
alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

As @guidev said, there's a bug that prevents alert controllers from honoring the `tintColor` that you set on them. – NRitH Jun 10 '16 at 02:25

Looks like that bug has possibly been fixed. I just tested in Xcode 9.2 (9C40b) - iOS 11 and it seems to be working fine now. – Mark Moeykens Mar 04 '18 at 18:39

@MarkMoeykens I see the bug in iOS 12. – Daniel Springer Dec 23 '18 at 04:47

In Swift 4 and Xcode 9.2

let alertView = UIAlertController(title: "", message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)

alertView.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "CONFIRM", style: .default, handler: { (alertAction) -> Void in
                //my logic
            }))

alertView.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "CANCEL", style: .default, handler: nil))


alertView.view.tintColor = UIColor.init(red: 45.0/255.0, green: 187.0/255.0, blue: 135.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)

present(alertView, animated: true, completion: nil)

Just change the tintColor of the underlying view.

[alertController.view setTintColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];

Add one line in your UIAllertController :

alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.black

To change the tint color for all Alerts in Swift:

 extension UIAlertController{
    open override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
       self.view.tintColor = //color
    }
 }
