Don't dismiss uialertcontroller sheet with tap gesture outside dialog area in iOS

in my iOS swift 3.0 application, I presented UIAlertController sheet instance over my current ViewController. But I don't want to dismiss that sheet when I tapped on outside an area of the sheet (dimmed semi-transparent background) because I already have to cancel an action. Any idea?

I have MGSwipeTableViewCell with more button. When User clicks on that "More" button, following code executes.

func onClickMore(for vmCell: VmCell) {
    let sheet = UIAlertController(title: vmCell.vmItem?.vmNameWithoutIp, message: vmCell.vmItem?.ipAddress, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Create Ticket", style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Start VM", style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Restart VM", style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Stop VM", style: .destructive) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    present(sheet, animated: true) { 
        sheet.view.superview?.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil))
    }
}

for UIAlertController Type as alert

you can download the sample project

add the gesture recognizer to alertController superview for handle the userinteraction

self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: {() -> Void in
 alertController.view.superview?.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil)
})

on that action do nothing

update

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Do something", message: "With this", preferredStyle: .alert)
    alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Done", style: .default) { action in
        // perhaps use action.title here
    })

    self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: {() -> Void in


        alertController.view.superview?.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil))
    })

for UIAlertController Type as actionSheet

you can download the sample project

you can do this two ways

option 1

 alert.view.superview.subviews[0] isUserInteractionEnabled = false

option 2

   alert.view.superview?.subviews[0].addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil))

for e.g

   self.present(sheet, animated: true, completion: {() -> Void in
    //    sheet.view.superview?.subviews[0].isUserInteractionEnabled = false;
      sheet.view.superview?.subviews[0].addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil))

    })

full code

  let sheet = UIAlertController(title: "karthik", message: "check with", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Create Ticket", style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Start VM", style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Restart VM", style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Stop VM", style: .destructive) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })

    sheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { (action: UIAlertAction) in

    })



    self.present(sheet, animated: true, completion: {() -> Void in
    //    sheet.view.superview?.subviews[0].isUserInteractionEnabled = false;
      sheet.view.superview?.subviews[0].addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil))

    })
