Runtime and old compiler safe options ... if you run in old xcode (5.0 or earlier)

    // changes of API in iOS 8.0
- (void) registerForPushNotification
{
    NSLog(@"registerForPushNotification");
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
    {

#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= __IPHONE_8_0 //__IPHONE_8_0 is not defined in old xcode (==0). Then use 80000

        NSLog(@"registerForPushNotification: For iOS >= 8.0");

        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:
            [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:
                (UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge)
                                              categories:nil]];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
#endif
    } else {
        NSLog(@"registerForPushNotification: For iOS < 8.0");
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
         (UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
    }
}
