registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: is not supported in iOS 8.0 and later

Question

When trying to register for push notifications under iOS 8.x:

application.registerForRemoteNotificationTypes(UIRemoteNotificationType.Alert | UIRemoteNotific         


        

Answer 1

For the Swift-inclined:

if let registration: AnyObject = NSClassFromString("UIUserNotificationSettings") { // iOS 8+
    let notificationTypes: UIUserNotificationType = (.Alert | .Badge | .Sound)
    let notificationSettings: UIUserNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: notificationTypes, categories: nil)

    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)
} else { // iOS 7
    application.registerForRemoteNotificationTypes(.Alert | .Badge | .Sound)
}
