NSInternalInconsistencyException? The layout constraints still need update after sending

Question

I am facing a problem, I have a forgot password option in which I have placed a UIAlertView with input field.

UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Forgot Password?"
                                                        message:@"Please enter your username to retrieve password"
                                                       delegate:self
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                              otherButtonTitles:@"Ok", nil];
    [alertView setAlertViewStyle:UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput];
    [alertView show];

When the app is launched, it works fine, but when I login, do all kinds of stuff, sign out and press "Forgot password", I get this error and my app crashes:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The layout constraints still need update after sending -updateConstraints to <_UIKeyboardLayoutAlignmentView: 0x7ffef5b37b00; frame = (0 0; 0 0); userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = >. _UIKeyboardLayoutAlignmentView or one of its superclasses may have overridden -updateConstraints without calling super. Or, something may have dirtied layout constraints in the middle of updating them. Both are programming errors.'

Here's the complete log:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

I am using IQKeyboardManager for navigation between text fields.

Please guide, your guidance will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

After a simple Google search I found the answer to your problem.

On iOS 8.3 if you the keyboard is being displayed and then you try to display a UIAlertView or UIAlertController that has an input field you will get this crash.
