I am having an application on iTunes store which displays some UILabel and UIWebView on UIAlertView. According to session video, addSubView for UIAlertView will not work. They have talked about ContentView. But in the GM Seeds SDK, I could not find that property and there seems to be no other way.

The only thing I can do is to create a custom subclass of UIView and make it work like UIAertView. Can you suggest any other simple solution?

Thanks for the help.

You can really change accessoryView to customContentView in iOS7 (and it seems that in iOS8 as well) UIAlertView

[alertView setValue:customContentView forKey:@"accessoryView"];

Try this code:

UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"TEST" message:@"subview" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"NO" otherButtonTitles:@"YES", nil];
UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 80, 40)];
[av setValue:v forKey:@"accessoryView"];
v.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
[av show];

Remember that you need set custom accessoryView before the call [alertView show]
