UIAlertController Alert action TextField need to be resized-error - swift

Question

Getting this error...
[LayoutConstraints] Changing the translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints property of a UICollectionViewCell that is managed by a UICollectionView is not supported, and will result in incorrect self-sizing. View: <_UIAlertControllerTextFieldViewCollectionCell: 0x7fe6a9f26000; frame = (0 0; 270 24); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x60000098edc0>; layer = <CALayer: 0x6000007c5cc0>>
From this...
func saveText()
{
let ac = UIAlertController(title: "NAME IT", message: nil, preferredStyle: .alert)
ac.addTextField()
let submitAction = UIAlertAction(title: "SAVE", style: .default)
{
[unowned ac] _ in
let answer = ac.textFields![0]
if answer.text!.count < 1
{
self.view.backgroundColor = .red
}
else
{
self.view.backgroundColor = .green
}
}
ac.addAction(submitAction)
present(ac, animated: true)
}
I have played around with this for a while, I have tried to figure out if I can add my own textfield to use it too...
func addTextField()
{
let textField = UITextField()
textField.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
}
But no luck
I need to remove this error.
Thanks in advance
Oh, this didn't help at all

Answer 1

Thanks for trying to help, couldn't waste more than a day waiting for a solution so I spent two hours on a workaround instead.
I figured it would be mean of me not to share...
OR rather nice that I spent the extra 20 mins to share my workaround.
If anyone plays hero and wants to edit this, I am happy to delete the answer.
