alignment: .right,
backgroundColor: UIColor(red: CGFloat(46.0 / 255.0), green: CGFloat(204.0 / 255.0), blue: CGFloat(113.0 / 255.0), alpha: CGFloat(1)),
textColor: nil,
handler: { (action) in
print("Button with title '" + action.title! + "' tapped")
})
// Add Action Button Into Alert
alertController.addAction(defaultAction)

titleColor: UIColor?,
message: String?,
messageColor: UIColor?,
textAlignment: NSTextAlignment,
preferredStyle: CFAlertControllerStyle,
headerView: UIView?,
footerView: UIView?,
didDismissAlertHandler dismiss: CFAlertViewControllerDismissBlock?)
Title and Message
You can set a custom title and message text in the alert (pass nil if you don’t need them).
Title Color and Message Color
You can set a custom title and message text color in the alert (pass nil if you want to use Default color values).
