Answer 1

Guilherme Torres Castro is correct. versions 7 and later do not support adding UIImageView as subView. However, for version 7 and above you can use this:

 UIAlertView Msg = new UIAlertView()
                    {
                        Title = "Title",
                        Message = "Content" 
                    };
                    UIImageView uiIV = new UIImageView(UIImage.FromFile("ImgFile.Png"));
                    Msg.SetValueForKey(uiIV, (NSString)"accessoryView");
                    Msg.AddButton("OK");
                    Msg.Show();

As far i Know on IOS 7 and up it´s impossible to add custom view in UIAlertView. You have to use a custom component to mimic the Alert, there a few options for Android.

I found this library for Xamarin , but didn't test it.

UIAlertController alert = UIAlertController.Create("Title", "Message Content" , UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert);
UIImageView imageview = new UIImageView();
alert.Add(imageview);
