Here it is the code for create UIAlertController for showing Message and title.

UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController
                                      alertControllerWithTitle:@"Alert Controller"
                                      message:@"Alert Message"
                                      preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];

UIViewController *viewController = [[UIViewController alloc]init];
[viewController.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];

UILabel *lbl = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 8, 250, 30)];
lbl.text = @"This is a label";
lbl.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
lbl.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[viewController.view addSubview:lbl];

UITextField *tf = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 35, 250, 30)];
tf.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
tf.placeholder = @"Enter your name";
[viewController.view addSubview:tf];

[alertController setValue:viewController forKey:@"contentViewController"];

UIAlertAction *cancelAction = [UIAlertAction
                               actionWithTitle:@"Cancel"
                               style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
                               handler:^(UIAlertAction *action)
                               {
                                   NSLog(@"Cancel action");
                               }];

UIAlertAction *okAction = [UIAlertAction
                           actionWithTitle:@"OK"
                           style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                           handler:^(UIAlertAction *action)
                           {
                               NSLog(@"OK action");

                               NSLog(@"Text Value : %@",tf.text);
                           }];

[alertController addAction:cancelAction];
[alertController addAction:okAction];

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];
});

For swift you can do same thing like following code:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert Controller", message: "Alert Message", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)


let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(
    title: "Cancel",
    style: UIAlertActionStyle.Destructive) { (action) in

}

let confirmAction = UIAlertAction(
    title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) { (action) in

}

alert.addAction(confirmAction)
alert.addAction(cancelAction)

let VC = UIViewController()
VC.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()


let lbl =  UILabel()
lbl.frame =  CGRectMake(10, 8, 250, 30)
lbl.text = "this is a label"
lbl.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
lbl.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
VC.view .addSubview(lbl)


let txt = UITextField()
txt.frame =  CGRectMake(10, 35, 250, 30)
txt.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.RoundedRect
txt.placeholder = "enter text"
VC.view .addSubview(txt)


alert.setValue(VC, forKey: "contentViewController")

self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

I was tested your code which you posted on here and thats work fine in all simulator as well as devices also in iOS 8.0+ OR if you want to test it in ios 7.0 then you have to use UIAlertview.

Code is : view controller.m

@interface ViewController ()
{
    float toCollect;
}
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

-(IBAction)btntapped:(id)sender
{
    UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController  alertControllerWithTitle:@"Check"  message:@"What was the value collected?"  preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
    [alertController addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *textField)
     {
         textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad;
         textField.placeholder = @"What was the value collected?";
     }];

    [alertController addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Submit" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {

        UITextField *txtValue = alertController.textFields.firstObject;

        toCollect = [txtValue.text floatValue];
}]];
    [self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

@end
