Change push notifications programmatically in Swift

Question

I have an app where I have implemented push notifications. I check with the user to allow remote notifications with:

let settings = UIUserNotificationSetting

There isn't any way you can change push notifications permission status from program. Also, prompt asking user to allow push notifications can not be shown again and again. You can refer this https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2265/_index.html.

The first time a push-enabled app registers for push notifications, iOS asks the user if they wish to receive notifications for that app. Once the user has responded to this alert it is not presented again unless the device is restored or the app has been uninstalled for at least a day.

So using UISwitch to toggle permission status doesn't make any sense unless you use switch status to turn on/off remote notifications from your server.
