UIAlertController custom font, size, color

Question

I am using new UIAlertController for showing alerts. I have this code:

// nil titles break alert interface on iOS 8.0, so we\'ll be using empty strings
UIAle

Use UIAppearance protocol. Do more hacks with appearanceFont to change font for UIAlertAction.

Create a category for UILabel

UILabel+FontAppearance.h

@interface UILabel (FontAppearance)

@property (nonatomic, copy) UIFont * appearanceFont UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR;

@end

UILabel+FontAppearance.m

@implementation UILabel (FontAppearance)

- (void)setAppearanceFont:(UIFont *)font
{
    if (self.tag == 1001) {
        return;
    }

    BOOL isBold = (self.font.fontDescriptor.symbolicTraits & UIFontDescriptorTraitBold);
    const CGFloat* colors = CGColorGetComponents(self.textColor.CGColor);

    if (self.font.pointSize == 14) {
        // set font for UIAlertController title
        self.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:11];
    } else if (self.font.pointSize == 13) {
        // set font for UIAlertController message
        self.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:11];
    } else if (isBold) {
        // set font for UIAlertAction with UIAlertActionStyleCancel
        self.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12];
    } else if ((*colors) == 1) {
        // set font for UIAlertAction with UIAlertActionStyleDestructive
        self.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:13];
    } else {
        // set font for UIAlertAction with UIAlertActionStyleDefault
        self.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
    }
    self.tag = 1001;
}

- (UIFont *)appearanceFont
{
    return self.font;
}

@end

Usage:

add

[[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:UIAlertController.class, nil] setAppearanceFont:nil];

in AppDelegate.m to make it work for all UIAlertController.
