Hi Guys,

I am having some trouble setting the UIApperance property for UIAlertController. I am trying to change the color for Cancel Button but the following code does not work.

[[UICollectionViewCell appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UIAlertController class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1]];

Has someone faced a similar issue ? its specific to iOS9

Thanks

The docs are a bit outdated here but the statement is still true:

IMPORTANT
Setting the
tintColor
property by using the appearance proxy APIs is not supported in iOS 7.

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TransitionGuide/AppearanceCustomization.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40013174-CH15-SW3

So instead of setting tintColor through appearance you must set it directly on the view you want to tint or one of it's ancestors.
