How can a file be displayed using UIAlertview in iOS?

I am trying to display my license agreement the first time that the user run my application. The license agreement is around 3-pages long. Can I used an Alert to display this message? Does UIAlertView controller has a maximum number of characters that can be displayed?

In my opinion in this case you should present a view with a UITextView. I don't see any reasons for displaying a UIAlertView because it does not fill the entire screen and user will feel less comfortable reading from an alertview than from a fullscreen textview. UIAlertView was not designed to show very long text, it will cut the text if it's too long and doesn't fit in the bounds of the alertview.

No maximum character limit seems to be there in UIAlertView.

but, UIAlertView is deprecated. Use UIAlertController with a preferredStyle of UIAlertControllerStyleAlert instead.
