Change tint color of UIAlertview and UIActionsheet buttons

Question

I am trying to adapt my application for iOS 7. The issue I am having is I can not change the tint color of some controls.

I did add

self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
if (IOS7_OR_LATER)
    self.window.tintColor = [self greenTintColor];

to my app delegate's

           - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
 didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

It mostly helped but color of message box and action sheet buttons is still the default blue.

How can I recolor all such buttons too?

Some screenshots:

Answer 1

Combining best answers above, and updated for deprecation:

[[UIView appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:@[[UIAlertController class]]] setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]];

or Swift:

UIView.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UIAlertController.self]).tintColor = .green

Works in 2018, Swift 4 / iOS 12.

Answer 2

I was able to change the cancel button's text color to white in app delegate.

[[UIView appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

Answer 3

As UIAlertView is deprecated You can. Use UIAlertController.

You can use tintColor property.

OLD

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.

-From Apple Doc

You can use tintColor property or You can use Some Custom Library for that, you can find it at cocoacontrols.com.
