How can I run for example local notifications? In UNUserNotificationCenter there is not repeat feature. Maybe using NSTimer or something like this?
Why my code does not work as I expected
let hours: [Int] = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]
for hour in hours {
for minute in stride(from: 0, to: 60, by: 5){
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Title"
content.body = "Body"
var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.hour = hour
dateComponents.minute = minute
let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dateComponents, repeats: true)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "timerDone", content: content, trigger: trigger)
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.add(request) { (error : Error?) in
if let theError = error {
print(theError.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
}
There is a repeat feature.
From Apple's documentation:
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = NSString.localizedUserNotificationString(forKey:
"Hello!", arguments: nil)
content.body = NSString.localizedUserNotificationString(forKey:
"Hello_message_body", arguments: nil)
// Deliver the notification in five seconds and repeat it
content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 60,
repeats: true)
// Schedule the notification.
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "60_seconds", content: content, trigger: trigger)
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)
Edit:
As also written in the documentation, you certainly have to have user permissions to post notifications:
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound]) { (granted, error) in
// Enable or disable features based on authorization
}
Result:
Notification is posted every minute:
