NotificationCenter issue on Swift 3 [duplicate]

Answer 1

For all struggling around with the #selector in Swift 3 or Swift 4, here a full code example:

// WE NEED A CLASS THAT SHOULD RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS
    class MyReceivingClass {

    // ---------------------------------------------
    // INIT -> GOOD PLACE FOR REGISTERING
    // ---------------------------------------------
    init() {
        // WE REGISTER FOR SYSTEM NOTIFICATION (APP WILL RESIGN ACTIVE)

        // Register without parameter
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(MyReceivingClass.handleNotification), name: .UIApplicationWillResignActive, object: nil)

        // Register WITH parameter
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(MyReceivingClass.handle(withNotification:)), name: .UIApplicationWillResignActive, object: nil)
    }

    // ---------------------------------------------
    // DE-INIT -> LAST OPTION FOR RE-REGISTERING
    // ---------------------------------------------
    deinit {
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
    }

    // either "MyReceivingClass" must be a subclass of NSObject OR selector-methods MUST BE signed with '@objc'

    // ---------------------------------------------
    // HANDLE NOTIFICATION WITHOUT PARAMETER
    // ---------------------------------------------
    @objc func handleNotification() {
        print("RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION")
    }

    // ---------------------------------------------
    // HANDLE NOTIFICATION WITH PARAMETER
    // ---------------------------------------------
    @objc func handle(withNotification notification : NSNotification) {
        print("RECEIVED SPECIFIC NOTIFICATION: \(notification)")
    }
}

In this example we try to get POSTs from AppDelegate (so in AppDelegate implement this):

// ---------------------------------------------
// WHEN APP IS GOING TO BE INACTIVE
// ---------------------------------------------
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {

    print("POSTING")

    // Define identifiyer
    let notificationName = Notification.Name.UIApplicationWillResignActive

    // Post notification
    NotificationCenter.default.post(name: notificationName, object: nil)
}
