  • Install App OTA: the cancel button is on the LEFT.

Where the cancel button should be?

Solution

  • From Human Interface Guideline:

    In a two-button alert that proposes a potentially risky action, the button that cancels the action should be on the right (and light-colored).

    In a two-button alert that proposes a benign action that people are likely to want, the button that cancels the action should be on the left (and dark-colored).
