I upgarded my Xcode to Xcode 6.0.1, now remote notification registration is not happening for iOS 8 device. It is working fine for iOS 7 device.
I have added the code in app delegate as mentioned below:
//-- Set Notification
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound|UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
NSLog(@"current notifications : %@", [[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings]);
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
Even the current notification is present, and it is not nil.
And yet the below method is not called :
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
Screenshot below explains that I have enabled certain options in background mode:
And the notification is set in the device settings for my app.
You need to call
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
in your iOS8 code path, after registering the user notification settings.
Below code will work in iOS 8.0 Xcode 6.0 or later and also for below versions.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//This code will work in iOS 8.0 xcode 6.0 or later
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: (UIRemoteNotificationTypeNewsstandContentAvailability| UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
return YES;
}
Check following steps hope it will help you
Steps 1 In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
//ios8 ++
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
UIUserNotificationSettings* notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
}
}
else
{
// ios7
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:@selector(registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:)])
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
}
}
Step 2
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings // available in iOS8
{
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
NSString * token = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", deviceToken];
//Format token as you need:
token = [token stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];
token = [token stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">" withString:@""];
token = [token stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"<" withString:@""];
NSLog(@"%@",token);
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
// Handle your remote RemoteNotification
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(@"Error:%@",error);
}
