  • What part of this do you need help with? 1) Getting the text from the alert? 2) Creating the data to write? 3) Writing the plist file? – rmaddy Aug 13 '13 at 15:29

Take text from text field. Create one NSDictionary, and write to File. 

UITextField *textfield = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0];
NSString *value =   [textfield text];
NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:value forKeys:@"key"];
[dictionary writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
