Use UIAppearance protocol  Example for setting a font - create a category to extend  UILabel    interface UILabel  FontAppearance   property  nonatomic  copy  UIFont   appearanceFont UI APPEARANCE SELECTOR   end    implementation UILabel  FontAppearance   - void setAppearanceFont  UIFont   font       if  font           self setFont font      - UIFont   appearanceFont       return self font      end   And its usage   UILabel   appearanceLabel    UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn UIAlertController class  nil    appearanceLabel setAppearanceFont  UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize 10      for example   Tested and working with style UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet  but I guess it will work with UIAlertControllerStyleAlert too   P S  Better check for class availability instead of iOS version   if   UIAlertController class            UIAlertController code  iOS 8    else          UIAlertView code  pre iOS 8

There is a problem with setting the tint color on the view after presenting  even if you do it in the completion block of presentViewController animated completion   it causes a flicker effect on the color of the button titles   This is sloppy  unprofessional and completely unacceptable   Other solutions presented depend on the view hierarchy remaining static  something that Apple is loathe to do   Expect those solutions to fail in future releases of iOS   The one sure-fire way to solve this problem and to do it everywhere  is via adding a category to UIAlertController and swizzling the viewWillAppear   The header          UIAlertController iOS9TintFix h        Created by Flor  Daniel J on 11 2 15       import  lt UIKit UIKit h gt    interface UIAlertController  iOS9TintFix      void tintFix   -  void swizzledViewWillAppear  BOOL animated    end   The implementation          UIAlertController iOS9TintFix m        Created by Flor  Daniel J on 11 2 15       import  UIAlertController iOS9TintFix h   import  lt objc runtime h gt    implementation UIAlertController  iOS9TintFix      void tintFix       static dispatch once t onceToken      dispatch once  amp onceToken             Method method    class getInstanceMethod self   selector viewWillAppear             Method swizzle   class getInstanceMethod self   selector swizzledViewWillAppear             method exchangeImplementations method  swizzle         -  void swizzledViewWillAppear  BOOL animated        self swizzledViewWillAppear animated       for  UIView  view in self view subviews            if  view tintColor    self view tintColor                  only do those that match the main view  so we don t strip the red-tint from destructive buttons              self view tintColor    UIColor colorWithRed 0 0 green 122 0 255 0 blue 1 0 alpha 1 0                view setNeedsDisplay                       end   Add a  pch  precompiled header  to your project and include the category    import  UIAlertController iOS9TintFix h    Make sure you register your pch in the project properly  and it will include the category methods in every class that uses the UIAlertController   Then  in your app delegates didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method  import your category and call   UIAlertController tintFix     and it will automatically propagate to every single instance of UIAlertController within your app  whether launched by your code or anyone else s   This solution works for both iOS 8 X and iOS 9 X and lacks the flicker of the tint change post-presentation approach   It is also completely agnostic with respect to the view hierarchy of the sub-views of the UIAlertController   Happy hacking

You can change the button color by applying a tint color to an UIAlertController   On iOS 9  if the window tint color was set to a custom color  you have to apply the tint color right after presenting the alert  Otherwise the tint color will be reset to your custom window tint color      In your AppDelegate for example  window  tintColor   UIColor redColor       Elsewhere in the App  let alertVC   UIAlertController title   Title   message   message   preferredStyle   Alert  alertVC addAction UIAlertAction title   Cancel   style   Cancel  handler  nil   alertVC addAction UIAlertAction title   Ok   style   Default  handler  nil       Works on iOS 8  but not on iOS 9    On iOS 9 the button color will be red alertVC view tintColor   UIColor greenColor    self presentViewController alert  animated  true  completion  nil      Necessary to apply tint on iOS 9 alertVC view tintColor   UIColor greenColor
