๐Ÿšง AlertIOS

Deprecated. Use Alert instead.

AlertIOS provides functionality to create an iOS alert dialog with a message or create a prompt for user input.

Creating an iOS alert:

AlertIOS.alert(
'Sync Complete',
'All your data are belong to us.'
);

Creating an iOS prompt:

AlertIOS.prompt('Enter a value', null, (text) =>
console.log('You entered ' + text)
);

We recommend using the Alert.alert method for cross-platform support if you don't need to create iOS-only prompts.
