I have a similar problem in iOS 8 using UIAlertController with UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet style.
The problem is that the first click on the action sheet is ignored.
It turned out that this is due to the fact that my text field keyboard interferes with touches.
The fix is ββto release the keyboard first and then present the action sheet.
[textfield resignFirstResponder]; [self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
