iOS8 UIAlertView blinks as it replaces white background with translucent one

Question

I'm seeing a strange behavior of one of my UIAlertViews, which I have not seen before. When shown on iOS8.0.2 it pops into existence with a white background, then it gets translucency effect applied to it. Because I'm showing it over a black background, there's a momentary flash as the background becomes translucent.

Is there a way to disable translucent background for native iOS8 alert views?

Apple deprecated UIAlertView in iOS 8. Take a look at UIAlertController that might offer a solution. – Judoka

Tried replacing it with the iOS8 equivalent, it still flickers as the background becomes transparent. – Jaynajayne

I checked the behavior of the iOS home screen "delete app" alert, and that one does not blink, My alert view blinks when displayed over a semi transparent UIView, maybe this is the reason why. – Jaynajayne

i am having the same issue and looking forward to solution – Lee
