Ask for User Permission to Receive UILocalNotifications in iOS 8

Question

I have set up local notifications in the App Delegate Using this:

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    UILocalNotificati         


        

Answer 1

I just faced the same problem. Seems like in iOS 8 we need to do an additional step, usually done inside:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { /*...*/ }

You can use this code if you want to keep it backward compatible:

#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 80000
    if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil]];
    }
#endif

The system will remember the decision, and will only ask once.
