UIAlert view doesnt show up in Swift ?

I have written the following function and what I am trying to do is to notify the user by showing an alert.

func handleRecievedQR (QRCode : String) {
    let scannedCode = QRCode.split(separator: ",")
    let attendance = ScannedQRCode(issuer: String(scannedCode[0]),
                                   eventName:String(scannedCode[1]) ,
                                   eventCode: String(scannedCode[2]),
                                   issuedYear: Int(scannedCode[3])!,
                                   issuedMonth: Int(scannedCode[4])!,
                                   issuedDay: Int(scannedCode[5])!,
                                   issuedHour: Int(scannedCode[6])!,
                                   issuedMin: Int(scannedCode[7])!,
                                   lat: Double(scannedCode[8])!,
                                   long: Double(scannedCode[9])!
    )

    if (attendance.validateTime() ){

        if (attendance.validateLocatoin() ){
            eventName.text = attendance.getEventName()
            eventCode.text = attendance.getEventCode()
            fullName.placeholder = "Enter your full name here"
            SignBtn.titleLabel?.text = "Sign the attendece"


        }else {
            //The problem is here. For debuggin I have used a print statement to make sure that the program has reached that point
            print("You are not present here ")
            let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Message", message: "It's detected that you are not actually in the event", preferredStyle: .alert)
            alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Note", style: .default, handler: { action in
                switch action.style{
                case .default:
                    print("HI")
             case .cancel:
                    return
                case .destructive:
                    return
                }}))


        present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

        }
    }else{
        print("Too late to scan the code")

    }

}

this function is called in the viewDidLoad but I cant manage to show any AlertView. Any idea where am I making my mistake and how can I fix it ?

It will not show up in viewDidLoad(). You call the function from viewDidAppear()

You never present the alert view. You should move the code that displays your alert to viewDidAppear(), as mentioned by Martin, and then you need to add a line self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
