I am checking my app compatibility with iOS 8, I am getting following Log in console "Attempting to badge the application icon but haven't received permission from the user to badge the application" . Can anyone please help me to get rid of this warning. And Yes, my app shows Badges on App Icon and TabBar Icon.
Here is What I did in my AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// registering for remote notifications
[self registerForRemoteNotification];
return YES;
}
- (void)registerForRemoteNotification {
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(#"8.0")) {
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert;
UIUserNotificationSettings *notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
} else {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
}
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings {
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
#endif
Apple makes new API for registering notifications and working with badges.
See WWDC 2014 session video:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/?id=713 ,
http://asciiwwdc.com/2014/sessions/713 (text version)
and
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplication_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIApplication/registerUserNotificationSettings:
User can change permissions for every UIUserNotificationType (UIUserNotificationTypeBadge, UIUserNotificationTypeSound, UIUserNotificationTypeAlert) in Settings.
Before changing badge you must check permissions.
Code sample from my AppDelegate:
- (BOOL)checkNotificationType:(UIUserNotificationType)type
{
UIUserNotificationSettings *currentSettings = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings];
return (currentSettings.types & type);
}
- (void)setApplicationBadgeNumber:(NSInteger)badgeNumber
{
UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
if(SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(#"8.0")) {
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = badgeNumber;
}
else {
if ([self checkNotificationType:UIUserNotificationTypeBadge]) {
NSLog(#"badge number changed to %d", badgeNumber);
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = badgeNumber;
}
else {
NSLog(#"access denied for UIUserNotificationTypeBadge");
}
}
}
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending)
The currentUserNotificationSettings method is available in the UI application instance and will give you the most up-to-date user notification preferences.
Working with badge number:
[self setApplicationBadgeNumber:0];
instead of
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
You can use
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 80000
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
} else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
#else
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
#endif
I came across this answer whilst looking for a solution in Swift. I have done the following (assuming iOS 8):
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: UIUserNotificationType.Sound | UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge, categories: nil))
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications()
Rather than checking the IOS Version i would check if the UIUserNotificationSettings exists and register for BadgeType like we used to do with remote notifications.
Class userNotification = NSClassFromString(#"UIUserNotificationSettings");
if (userNotification)
{
UIUserNotificationSettings* notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
}
If you want use Local Notification use Below Code:
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 80000
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
#else
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
#endif
iOS 8 has an application method called registerUserNotificationSettings:. Part of the docs say, "If your app displays alerts, play sounds, or badges its icon while in the background, you must call this method during your launch cycle to request permission to alert the user in those ways."
You can use
if(SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(#"8.0"))
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
....
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending)
For push notification, I think it will solve it, in my case on simulator I get this warning as it doesn't support push and i the user reject the permission than again you will have that warning.
Thank You.
for "swifters" the above code:
final func checkNotificationType(type : UIUserNotificationType) -> Bool {
let application = UIApplication.sharedApplication()
if application.respondsToSelector(Selector("registerUserNotificationSettings:")) {
// iOS8 and above
let currentSettings : UIUserNotificationSettings = application.currentUserNotificationSettings()
let types = currentSettings.types
return types.rawValue & type.rawValue > 0
}else{
return true
}
}
+ (BOOL)canBadgeTheApp {
BOOL canBadgeTheApp;
if ([UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion.doubleValue >= 8) {
UIUserNotificationType types = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings] types];
canBadgeTheApp = ((types & UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge) != 0);
} else {
canBadgeTheApp = YES;
}
return canBadgeTheApp;
}
the only thing you need is
if (floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) >= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_8_0) {
// here you go with iOS 8
} else {
}
i try to enable/disable push notifications when the user click a button. When the user choose to disable notifications everything is correct, push notifications are not received. But when the user switch again to enable the remote notifications, those are not received.
In this moment i checked in settings -> notifications and i saw the app is not registered to receive push notifications.
This is my code for the button(to disable):
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.000000)
{
UIUserNotificationSettings * settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeNone categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
//[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeNone];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
This is my code for the button(to enable):
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.000000)
{
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound;
UIUserNotificationSettings * settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
In AppDelegate, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, the app is correctly registered for remote notifications:
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.000000)
{
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound;
UIUserNotificationSettings * settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
//[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
Thank you
I am registering push with Parse with following code:
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 80000
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
UIUserNotificationType userNotificationTypes = (UIUserNotificationTypeAlert |
UIUserNotificationTypeBadge |
UIUserNotificationTypeSound);
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:userNotificationTypes
categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
} else
#endif
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
}
In iOS 7 it's working properly, but when I am sending push from iOS 8 it's not working and returns this error:
enabledRemoteNotificationTypes is not supported in iOS 8.0 and later parse.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
As per the error and documentation, enabledRemoteNotificationTypes is deprecated for iOS 8:
Use the isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications method instead.
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);
}
Is it possible to get the text of all the received push notifications on iOS 8?
Has anyone found something on the documentation provided by Apple?
I know that the notification list can be obtained using a bluetooth device, but I'd like to get it locally.
Its very simple try this in Xcode6:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//-- Set Notification
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
//--- your custom code
return YES;
}
