## What it is
A Swift library extending UIAlertController with advanced customization and embedded content views like text fields, date pickers, map views, and collection views. It provides ready-made pickers for contacts, location, photo library, country, phone code, currency, and date selection on iOS.

## Use cases
- show a date picker inside a native iOS alert
- let users pick a country or phone code from an alert dialog
- build Telegram-style alert controllers in Swift
- add a text field or text view to a UIAlertController
- display a map or photo picker within an alert
- customize alert title, message, and button styling on iOS

## When to choose
- you're building an iOS app in Swift and want rich, native-feeling alert dialogs
- you need pickers (date, country, currency, contacts, location) presented as alerts
- you want to embed custom view controllers inside UIAlertController

## When to avoid
- you're targeting platforms other than iOS
- you need fully custom UI beyond what UIAlertController allows
- your project uses SwiftUI exclusively and prefers native SwiftUI alerts and sheets
