TVOS: Issue with showing alert on tvOS Application

Question

I am a beginner in tvOS app development. I am trying to show an alert when clicking a button in my tvOS application.

I tried the below code, but showing errors:

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: status, message: title, preferredStyle: .Alert) // 2
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel) { (action) in //3 
}
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

let ok = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default) { (action) in
} // 4
alertController.addAction(ok)

self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true) { // 5
}

Screenshot:

Need any packages for solving these issues? I follow this blog for creating this sample project(Quiz Game App section).

Finally, I am able to show different types of alerts on my app using this sample project. Posting the code here:

ViewController.cs

partial void DisplayDestructiveAlert (Foundation.NSObject sender) {
    // User helper class to present alert
    AlertViewController.PresentDestructiveAlert("A Short Title is Best","The message should be a short, complete sentence.","Delete",this, (ok) => {
        Console.WriteLine("Destructive Alert: The user selected {0}",ok);
    });
}

partial void DisplayOkCancelAlert (Foundation.NSObject sender) {
    // User helper class to present alert
    AlertViewController.PresentOKCancelAlert("A Short Title is Best","The message should be a short, complete sentence.",this, (ok) => {
        Console.WriteLine("OK/Cancel Alert: The user selected {0}",ok);
    });
}

partial void DisplaySimpleAlert (Foundation.NSObject sender) {
    // User helper class to present alert
    AlertViewController.PresentOKAlert("A Short Title is Best","The message should be a short, complete sentence.",this);
}

partial void DisplayTextInputAlert (Foundation.NSObject sender) {
    // User helper class to present alert
    AlertViewController.PresentTextInputAlert("A Short Title is Best","The message should be a short, complete sentence.","placeholder", "", this, (ok, text) => {
        Console.WriteLine("Text Input Alert: The user selected {0} and entered `{1}`",ok,text);
    });
}

AlertViewController.cs

    // Configure the alert
    alert.AddAction(UIAlertAction.Create("OK",UIAlertActionStyle.Default,(action) => {}));
