Get Device Token in iOS 8

Question

I need device token to implement push notification in my app.
How can I get device token since didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken method is no

Answer 1

Here is the solution.

in applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

{

 UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert;
    UIUserNotificationSettings *mySettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:mySettings];
}


- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(nonnull UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}


- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(nonnull NSError *)error
{
    NSLog(@" Error while registering for remote notifications: %@", error);
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(nonnull NSData *)deviceToken
{
  NSLog(@"Device Token is : %@", deviceToken);
}

Answer 2

Read the code in UIApplication.h.

You will know how to do that.

First:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

add Code like this

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
  //Right, that is the point
    UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
#else
    //register to receive notifications
    UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
#endif

if you not using both Xcode 5 and Xcode 6 ,try this code

if ([application respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
  UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
      |UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound
      |UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
  [application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
} else {
  UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
  [application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}

(Thanks for @zeiteisen @dmur 's remind)

Second:

Add this Function

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
    //register to receive notifications
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler
{
    //handle the actions
    if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"declineAction"]){
    }
    else if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"answerAction"]){
    }
}
#endif

And your can get the deviceToken in

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken

if it still not work , use this function and NSLog the error

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
