How to add TextField to UIAlertController in Swift

Swift 5.1

alert.addTextField { (textField) in
    textField.placeholder = "Enter First Name"
}

Use this code, I am running this code in my app successfully.

@IBAction func addButtonClicked(sender : AnyObject){
    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Add New Name", message: "", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
    alertController.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler { (textField : UITextField!) -> Void in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter Second Name"
    }
    let saveAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Save", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { alert -> Void in
        let firstTextField = alertController.textFields![0] as UITextField
        let secondTextField = alertController.textFields![1] as UITextField
    })
    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: {
        (action : UIAlertAction!) -> Void in })
    alertController.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler { (textField : UITextField!) -> Void in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter First Name"
    }
    
    alertController.addAction(saveAction)
    alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
    
    self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Edited: Swift 3.0 version

@IBAction func addButtonClicked(_ sender: UIButton){
    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Add New Name", message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)
    alertController.addTextField { (textField : UITextField!) -> Void in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter Second Name"
    }
    let saveAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Save", style: .default, handler: { alert -> Void in
        let firstTextField = alertController.textFields![0] as UITextField
        let secondTextField = alertController.textFields![1] as UITextField
        print("firstName \(firstTextField.text), secondName \(secondTextField.text)")
    })
    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { (action : UIAlertAction!) -> Void in })
    alertController.addTextField { (textField : UITextField!) -> Void in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter First Name"
    }

    alertController.addAction(saveAction)
    alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
    
    self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
