# init(title:delegate:cancelButtonTitle:destructiveButtonTitle:)

Initializes the action sheet using the specified starting parameters.

## Declaration

```swift
init(title: String?, delegate: (any UIActionSheetDelegate)?, cancelButtonTitle: String?, destructiveButtonTitle: String?)
```

## Parameters

- `title`: A string to display in the title area of the action sheet. Pass nil if you don’t want to display any text in the title area.
- `delegate`: The receiver’s delegate object. Although this parameter may be nil, the delegate is used to respond to taps in the action sheet and should usually be provided.
- `cancelButtonTitle`: The title of the cancel button. This button is added to the action sheet automatically and assigned an appropriate index, which is available from the doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIActionSheet/cancelButtonIndex property. This button is displayed in black to indicate that it represents the cancel action. Specify nil if you don’t want a cancel button or are presenting the action sheet on an iPad.
- `destructiveButtonTitle`: The title of the destructive button. This button is added to the action sheet automatically and assigned an appropriate index, which is available from the doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIActionSheet/destructiveButtonIndex property. This button is displayed in red to indicate that it represents a destructive behavior. Specify nil if you don’t want a destructive button.

## Return Value

Return Value A newly initialized action sheet.

## Discussion

Discussion The action sheet automatically sets the appearance of the destructive and cancel buttons. If the action sheet contains only one button, it doesn’t apply the custom colors associated with the destructive and cancel buttons.
