Answer 1

The link provided above actually refers to Apple Doc where it has removed adding subview to UIActionSheet. In your code, you are doing similar thing by adding UIPickerView into UIActionSheet. So in iOS8 onwards, even if the view is added to UIActionSheet, the view returned is actually nil while displaying.
For this purpose you can use ActionSheetPicker-3.0.
Actually, it's not UIActionSheet anymore. But looks exactly the same, and that's why it works on iOS8.
Do let me know if this answers your query!
