DatePicker does not show on input click on iOS 8 - ios

Question

I am showing pickerView on input field click it worked fine on other iOS but when I updated to iOS 8 it did not work. When i click on input field it does not show up the date picker.
Here is the code I am using.
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)aTextField{
appDelegate.recentAddSowID = #"";
if (aTextField == dateTextField) {
[dateTextField resignFirstResponder];
pickerViewPopup = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"" destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
pickerView = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 0, 0)];
pickerView.datePickerMode=UIDatePickerModeDate;
pickerView.hidden = NO;
pickerView.date = [NSDate date];
UIToolbar *pickerToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
pickerToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[pickerToolbar sizeToFit];
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(doneButtonPressed:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(cancelButtonPressed:)];
[barItems addObject:cancelBtn];
[pickerToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerToolbar];
[pickerViewPopup addSubview:pickerView];
[pickerView addTarget:self action:#selector(updateTextField:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[dateTextField setInputView:pickerView];
[pickerViewPopup showInView:self.view];
[pickerViewPopup setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,320, 464)];
}
}
I am testing on iPhone 5S.

They changed the implementation of UIActionSheet in iOS 8. You can no longer add views to its view hierarchy
The documentation (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/Reference/UIActionSheet_Class/index.html) states:
UIActionSheet is not designed to be subclassed, nor should you add views to its hierarchy. If you need to present a sheet with more customization than provided by the UIActionSheet API, you can create your own and present it modally with presentViewController:animated:completion:.
Also, the UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8
Important: UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8. (Note that UIActionSheetDelegate is also deprecated.) To create and manage action sheets in iOS 8 and later, instead use UIAlertController with a preferredStyle of UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet.
As an alternative, try this: https://github.com/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0. It works with iOS 8 and might be what you need
