How to change position of UIPageControl in iOS >=8.0?

Override the viewDidLayoutSubviews() of the pageviewcontroller and use this

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()

    // get pageControl and scroll view from view's subviews
    let pageControl = view.subviews.filter{ $0 is UIPageControl }.first! as! UIPageControl
    let scrollView = view.subviews.filter{ $0 is UIScrollView }.first! as! UIScrollView
    // remove all constraint from view that are tied to pagecontrol
    let const = view.constraints.filter { $0.firstItem as? NSObject == pageControl || $0.secondItem as? NSObject == pageControl }
    view.removeConstraints(const)

    // customize pagecontroll
    pageControl.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    pageControl.addConstraint(pageControl.heightAnchor.constraintEqualToConstant(35))
    pageControl.backgroundColor = view.backgroundColor

    // create constraints for pagecontrol
    let leading = pageControl.leadingAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.leadingAnchor)
    let trailing = pageControl.trailingAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.trailingAnchor)
    let bottom = pageControl.bottomAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(scrollView.topAnchor, constant:8) // add to scrollview not view

    // pagecontrol constraint to view
    view.addConstraints([leading, trailing, bottom])
    view.bounds.origin.y -= pageControl.bounds.maxY
}

Yes, you can add custom page controller for that.

self.pageControl = [[UIPageControl alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height - 50, self.view.frame.size.width, 50)]; // your position

[self.view addSubview: self.pageControl];

then remove

- (NSInteger)presentationCountForPageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController

and

- (NSInteger)presentationIndexForPageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController

Then add another delegate method:

- (void)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController willTransitionToViewControllers:(NSArray<UIViewController *> *)pendingViewControllers
 {
     PageContentViewController *pageContentView = (PageContentViewController*) pendingViewControllers[0];
     self.pageControl.currentPage = pageContentView.pageIndex;
 }

Just lookup PageControl in PageViewController subclass and set frame, location or whatever you want

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
        for subView in view.subviews {
            if  subView is  UIPageControl {
                subView.frame.origin.y = self.view.frame.size.height - 164
            }
        }
    }
