While poking around Apple's Documentation I have witnessed that they have deprecated majority of methods in UIAlertView class. Are there any alternatives for that?
Link: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIAlertView_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/c/tdef/UIAlertViewStyle

Nobody outside of the core iOS team knows exactly why Apple does anything, but my guess is that they are trying to shove (or gently encourage) developers into using the newer (and more flexible) UIAlertController, which came in with iOS 8.0.

I am new to Swift and iOS programming and I wanted to know if there was a way to essentially block other applications or have your application be the default Home Screen? The idea is a time-saving application so maybe totally hide text messages and the browser when it is enabled.
I saw that there is kind of a way to do this in Android, but wasn't sure if there was a way to do this with iOS.
No. iOS does not allow apps to have this level of permissions.
However, you may be able to achieve similar effect by using the Screen Time feature in iOS 12+

I decided to test out the MVVM structure in a MapKit/CoreLocation project of mine with Swift.
Even though I was really hopeful at the beginning about the improved structure, it ended up being more problematic than providing help. Since iOS doesn't have UIBinding, I found myself writing more code and hence the code was becoming harder to track.
Did you tried MVVM on iOS? Did it help? What's your experience like?

Not really a programming question, but this topic needs an up to date discussion for all the newbies outthere. I've googled but didn't find anything useful. So, do you need to know ios 7 if you want to program for ios 8? Is iOS 8 just a extension and everything in programming for iOS 7 is also valid in iOS 8? There are many books on iOS 7(not so much on iOS8), but it would be a waste of money to buy out of date books.
Thanks for answering
IMO:
you don't really have to know the past of iOS... only when you want to support lower OS versions and even then you only need to know what changed in that area / what you need to change
said that though: it doesn't hurt to have a general foundation. ;) generally :D

I learnt how to program in iOS 6(mid-scale apps) in a university course last year. I was wondering, how much challenging is it to make a transition to iOS 7? I tried to check out for an iOS 7 full change-log but I only found info related to added features.
Not challenging at all. If you want to use some of the new API's then you will need to learn them. Creating a 'mid-level' app however has remained very much the same.
The major differences are 'stock' element appearances but they are created the same way. Also views are now 'full screen' so that can be confusing at first if you aren't aware.

I do submit bugs to Apple's bug reporter, but I have read that adding it to Open Radar is useful.
It's not clear to me what the purpose is of Open Radar, since it seems I can't "like" others' open radars...
So What is the purpose of Open Radar? Why does it matter if I submit here too?
The use of OpenRadar is that you can look for Radars. Apple does not allow access to its Radar database.
