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

I couldn't figure out what the "categories" NSSet variable should be set to, so if someone could fill me in I will gladly edit this post. The following does, however, bring up the push notification dialog.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];

Edit: I got a push notification to send to my phone with this code, so I'm not sure the categories parameter is necessary.
