Disable the auto dismissal of the alert when tapping on a button

Question

func showAlert(...) {
    let alertController = UIAlertController(...)

    let add = UIAlertAction(title: "Add", style: .default) { (action) in
        onAdd?()
    }

    alertController.addAction(ok)

    ...
}

I would like to keep the popup alert after click on Add. But it seem iOS will auto close the popup. How to make it work?

If you don't want it dismissed, it may be easier to do with just a set of views that you hide or show as part of the underlying view controller logic. — Phillip Mills, Dec 27 '18 at 01:51

The only way to prevent a UIAlertController's alert from being dismissed when a button is tapped is to disable the button.

If you don't like that, don't use UIAlertController; use your own presented view controller. That's all a UIAlertController is, after all. So it's easy to write your own if you need to.
