How can I check if the user has enabled remote notifications on ios 9 or ios 10?
If the user has not allowed or clicked No I want to toggle a message asking if they want to enable notifications.

This answer is outdated and doesn't support on iOS 10, you can check this answer.
Use this code
let isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications = UIApplication.shared.isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications
if isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications {
// User is registered for notification
} else {
// Show alert user is not registered for notification
}
Apple recommends to use UserNotifications
framework instead of shared instances. So, do not forget to import UserNotifications
framework. As this framework is new in iOS 10 it's really only safe to use this code in apps building for iOS10+
let current = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
current.getNotificationSettings(completionHandler: { (settings) in
if settings.authorizationStatus == .notDetermined {
// Notification permission has not been asked yet, go for it!
} else if settings.authorizationStatus == .denied {
// Notification permission was previously denied, go to settings & privacy to re-enable
} else if settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized {
// Notification permission was already granted
}
})

I tried Rajat's solution, but it didn't work for me on iOS 10 (Swift 3). It always said that push notifications were enabled. Below is how I solved the problem. This says "not enabled" if the user has tapped "Don't Allow" or if you have not asked the user yet.
let notificationType = UIApplication.shared.currentUserNotificationSettings!.types
if notificationType == [] {
print("notifications are NOT enabled")
} else {
print("notifications are enabled")
}
PS: The method currentUserNotificationSettings
was deprecated in iOS 10.0 but it's still working.
If your app supports iOS 10 and iOS 8, 9 use below code
// At the top, import UserNotifications
// to use UNUserNotificationCenter
import UserNotifications
Then,
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
let current = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
current.getNotificationSettings(completionHandler: { settings in
switch settings.authorizationStatus {
case .notDetermined:
// Authorization request has not been made yet
case .denied:
// User has denied authorization.
// You could tell them to change this in Settings
case .authorized:
// User has given authorization.
}
})
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
if UIApplication.shared.isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications {
print("APNS-YES")
} else {
print("APNS-NO")
}
}
in iOS11, Swift 4...
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getNotificationSettings { (settings) in
if settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized {
// Already authorized
}
else {
// Either denied or notDetermined
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge]) {
(granted, error) in
// add your own
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Notification Alert", message: "please enable notifications", preferredStyle: .alert)
let settingsAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Settings", style: .default) { (_) -> Void in
guard let settingsUrl = URL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) else {
return
}
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(settingsUrl) {
UIApplication.shared.open(settingsUrl, completionHandler: { (success) in
})
}
}
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: nil)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
alertController.addAction(settingsAction)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.window?.rootViewController?.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
}
Here's a solution for getting a string describing the current permission that works with iOS 9 trough iOS 11, with Swift 4. This implementation uses When for promises.
import UserNotifications
private static func getNotificationPermissionString() -> Promise<String> {
let promise = Promise<String>()
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
let notificationCenter = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
notificationCenter.getNotificationSettings { (settings) in
switch settings.authorizationStatus {
case .notDetermined: promise.resolve("not_determined")
case .denied: promise.resolve("denied")
case .authorized: promise.resolve("authorized")
}
}
} else {
let status = UIApplication.shared.isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications ? "authorized" : "not_determined"
promise.resolve(status)
}
return promise
}
@Rajat's answer is not enough.
isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications
is that your app has connected to APNS and get device token, this can be for silent push notificationcurrentUserNotificationSettings
is for user permissions, without this, there is no alert, banner or sound push notification delivered to the appHere is the check
static var isPushNotificationEnabled: Bool {
guard let settings = UIApplication.shared.currentUserNotificationSettings
else {
return false
}
return UIApplication.shared.isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications
&& !settings.types.isEmpty
}
For iOS 10, instead of checking for currentUserNotificationSettings
, you should use UserNotifications
framework
center.getNotificationSettings(completionHandler: { settings in
switch settings.authorizationStatus {
case .authorized, .provisional:
print("authorized")
case .denied:
print("denied")
case .notDetermined:
print("not determined, ask user for permission now")
}
})
Push notification can be delivered to our apps in many ways, and we can ask for that
UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge])
User can go to Settings app and turn off any of those at any time, so it's best to check for that in the settings
object
open class UNNotificationSettings : NSObject, NSCopying, NSSecureCoding {
open var authorizationStatus: UNAuthorizationStatus { get }
open var soundSetting: UNNotificationSetting { get }
open var badgeSetting: UNNotificationSetting { get }
open var alertSetting: UNNotificationSetting { get }
open var notificationCenterSetting: UNNotificationSetting { get }
}
class func isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications() -> Bool {
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
var isRegistered = false
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 0)
let current = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
current.getNotificationSettings(completionHandler: { settings in
if settings.authorizationStatus != .authorized {
isRegistered = false
} else {
isRegistered = true
}
semaphore.signal()
})
_ = semaphore.wait(timeout: .now() + 5)
return isRegistered
} else {
return UIApplication.shared.isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications
}
}
Even though user doesn't allow the push notifications, the device token is available. So it would be also a good idea to check if it's allowed to receive the push notifications.
private func checkPushNotificationAllowed(completionHandler: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getNotificationSettings { (settings) in
if settings.authorizationStatus == .notDetermined || settings.authorizationStatus == .denied {
completionHandler(false)
}
else {
completionHandler(true)
}
}
}
else {
if let settings = UIApplication.shared.currentUserNotificationSettings {
if settings.types.isEmpty {
completionHandler(false)
}
else {
completionHandler(true)
}
}
else {
completionHandler(false)
}
}
}
