UIAlertController is Crashed (iPad)

Question

I am using Xcode 6 to develop an iOS Application.

When I used UIAlertController, it can be worked well on iPhone 6 simulator, but crashes on iPad simulator.

My problem while clicking "share", then it could be crashed. How could I solve it?

Here is my Code:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [AnyObject] {

    var shareAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: UITableViewRowActionStyle.Default, title: "Share", handler: { (action:UITableViewRowAction!, indexPath:NSIndexPath!) -> Void in

        let shareMenu = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Share using", preferredStyle: .ActionSheet)
        let twitterAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Twitter", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil)
        let facebookAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Facebook", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil)
        let emailAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Email", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil)
        let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel, handler: nil)

        shareMenu.addAction(twitterAction)
        shareMenu.addAction(facebookAction)
        shareMenu.addAction(emailAction)
        shareMenu.addAction(cancelAction)

        self.presentViewController(shareMenu, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
    )

Xcode showed this message:

******Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Your application has presented a UIAlertController (<UIAlertController: 0xaf71c80>) of style UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet. The modalPresentationStyle of a UIAlertController with this style is UIModalPresentationPopover. You must provide location information for this popover through the alert controller's popoverPresentationController. You must provide either a sourceView and sourceRect or a barButtonItem.  If this information is not known when you[![enter image description here][1]][1] present the alert controller, you may provide it in the UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate method -prepareForPopoverPresentation.'

Answer 1

To keep it device independent, rather use it as shown in the snippet below. This code will return nil for popoverPresentationController on an iPhone / compact size device, so you can safely use it in universal projects.

if let popoverPresentationController = shareMenu.popoverPresentationController {
    popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view
    popoverPresentationController.sourceRect = sender.bounds
}
self.presentViewController(shareMenu, animated: true, completion: nil)
