Question 1

How to customize button colors in SimpleAlert?

Accepted Answer

Override the `configureActionButton` method in a subclass or set properties directly on the `AlertAction` button. The README provides examples for styling buttons based on their style (e.g., .ok, .cancel) with specific color and font changes.

Question 2

SimpleAlert vs UIAlertController: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use SimpleAlert when you need deep visual customization, multiple cancel buttons in action sheets, or custom view embedding. Stick with UIAlertController for standard, system-styled alerts to avoid dependencies and keep code minimal.

Question 3

Can SimpleAlert be used with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires wrapping in a UIViewControllerRepresentable to integrate with SwiftUI, as it's built on UIKit. This adds bridging complexity compared to native SwiftUI alerts or newer libraries designed for SwiftUI.

Question 4

How to add multiple text fields in SimpleAlert?

Accepted Answer

Call the `addTextField` method multiple times on the AlertController instance. The README shows an example with a single text field, but you can chain calls or configure each field separately in the handler block.

Question 5

Is SimpleAlert compatible with iOS 15 and later?

Accepted Answer

The README specifies support for iOS 9.0+ and Swift 5.0, so it should work, but check the GitHub repository for recent updates or issues related to newer iOS versions, as maintenance might lag.

Question 6

How to prevent an action sheet from dismissing on outside tap?

Accepted Answer

SimpleAlert handles this by default; the action handler won't execute on outside tap for action sheets, as noted in the README under 'The difference between default UIAlertController.' This prevents unintended dismissal compared to native behavior.
