Local Notification “Everyday at 7:00am” not notifying

Question

I want a notification to go off everyday at 7:00, but it will not go off. I also want it to show in lock screen. Here is all the code I have so far.

-(void)         


        

Answer 1

Try to use this:

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application 
{

NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar];

NSDateComponents *componentsForReferenceDate = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth ) fromDate:[NSDate date]];

[componentsForReferenceDate setDay:9];
[componentsForReferenceDate setMonth:11];
[componentsForReferenceDate setYear:2012];

NSDate *referenceDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:componentsForReferenceDate];

// set components for time 7:00 a.m.

NSDateComponents *componentsForFireDate = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute | NSCalendarUnitSecond ) fromDate: referenceDate];

[componentsForFireDate setHour:7];
[componentsForFireDate setMinute:0];
[componentsForFireDate setSecond:0];

NSDate *fireDateOfNotification = [calendar dateFromComponents:componentsForFireDate];

// Create the notification

UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];

notification.fireDate = fireDateOfNotification;
notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];
notification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Good Morning! Have a great day!"];
notification.alertAction = @"go back";
notification.userInfo= @{@"information": [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Some information"]};
notification.repeatInterval= NSCalendarUnitDay;
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
notification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];

}  

Thumbs up if this helped! :D
