Why is my UIAlertController not being fired?

I want to display a UIAlertController whenever user opens the application.

This is how I'm creating and trying to show it:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //simple alert dialog
        let alert=UIAlertController(title: "Alert 1", message: "One is awesome", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert);
        //show it
        showViewController(alert, sender: self);

    }
}

Why is it not being displayed?

It will work if you'd use: presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

As @matt stated, it’s better to present your alertViewController in ViewDidAppear instead of ViewDidLoad, because than the presenting viewController is in the interface.

Too soon. In viewDidLoad, your view is not even in the interface yet! There is nothing to show from.
