You can change your NSAlert size using something like this:

NSAlert *alert = [[NSAlert alloc] init];
NSRect frame = alert.window.frame;
frame.size.height = 110;
frame.size.width = 210;
[alert.window setFrame:frame display:YES];

You can use an accessory view to enlarge your NSAlert:

NSAlert *alert = [[NSAlert alloc] init];
alert.accessoryView = [[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 500, 0)];

NSAlert does not allow you to change its window. So you will need to write your own window controller subclass like NSAlert which is a subclass of NSObject. Pl. refer the below link, 1. NSAlert resize window 2. Creating a fully customized NSAlert where the options are provided to customize the alert view.

Also you can take a look of the iOS custom alertview form the below github link https://github.com/wimagguc/ios-custom-alertview
