Entering Text Using Pop-up in IOS 7

I have an app that was built on Xcode 4.6 and iOS 6. I am now upgrading it to iOS 7 using XCode 5.

I have this code that worked perfectly on iOS 6. What it does it bring a popup with UITextField in it. User can enter whatever text they want and hit OK. I take their text and put it in a UILabel.

The problem I have is that in iOS 7 when I bring up this pop-up text box, its not editable. Touching it doesn't do anything. How come?

Here is the code and screenshot

// ************ 
// ENTER TEXT
// ************

-(IBAction)insertText 
{
    UIAlertView* dialog = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Enter Text \n"
                                                     message:@"\n\n Keep it short and sweet"   
                                                    delegate:self 
                                           cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                           otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];

    nameField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20.0, 45.0, 245.0, 25.0)];
    [nameField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    [dialog addSubview:nameField];
    [dialog show];
}

Use the provided API instead this hack. Instead of adding your own text field (which was never actually supported), set the alert view's alertViewStyle to UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput. This will give you a supported text entry field in the alert view.
