UIAlertViews are deprecated in iOS9, any suggestions on what I should use instead?

Compiler instructs me to use UIAlertController but when I alloc and init an instance is says something about the interface.

UIAlertController is the new way to present both alerts and action sheets.

See Apple Docs for further reference. Always worth a read: UIAlertController on NSHipster

Add this lines on your if statement : let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Opps!", message: "Make sure you enter a username, password and email addres", preferredStyle: .Alert) let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default, handler: nil)

        alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
        presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
