Hi there, thanks for this. I can confirm that this was an issue in the book which has already been fixed. I believe the next build of the PDF and the actual book will contain this fix.

handler used for the action

Action as mentioned in text book (repeated below)
let action = UIAlertAction(title: "Next", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) {[weak self](paramAction : UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
let userName = self!.alertController!.textFields[0].text
println("Your username is \(userName)")
}

gives the error message [AnyObject]? does nothave a member named 'subscript',

I modified the closure block as below and it works

let action = UIAlertAction(title: "Next", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) {[weak self](paramAction : UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
let userName = self!.alertController!.textFields as Array!
let textField = userName[0] as UITextField
println("value is " + textField.text)
}

Thanks
