You might be using os version less then iOS 8.

If you compile your code with Xcode 6 and use a device with iOS version < 8.0 then you will face this issue. I would suggest the following

- (void)showXYZAlert
{
    if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0"))
    {
        // Handle UIAlertController
        [self showXYZAlertController];
    }
    else
    {
        // Handle UIAlertView
        [self showXYZAlertControllerView];
    }
}

In order to display AlertView in both iOS 8 and lower versions you can use the following code:

if ([self isiOS8OrAbove]) {
    UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:title
                                                                             message:message
                                                                      preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];

    UIAlertAction *okAction = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"OK"
                                                       style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                                                     handler:^(UIAlertAction *action) {
                                                         [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
                                                     }];

    [alertController addAction:okAction];
    [self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];
} else {
    UIAlertView * alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title
                                                         message:message
                                                        delegate:nil
                                               cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                               otherButtonTitles: nil];
    [alertView show];
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

- (BOOL)isiOS8OrAbove {
    NSComparisonResult order = [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion compare: @"8.0"
                                                                       options: NSNumericSearch];
    return (order == NSOrderedSame || order == NSOrderedDescending);
}
