UserNotification in 3 days then repeat every day/hour - iOS 10 - swift

Question

UILocalNotification has been depreciated so I would like to update my code to the UserNotification framework:
let alertDays = 3.0
let alertSeconds = alertDays * 24.0 * 60.0 * 60.0
let localNotification:UILocalNotification = UILocalNotification()
localNotification.alertAction = "Reminder"
localNotification.alertTitle = "Reminder Title"
localNotification.alertBody = "Reminder Message"
localNotification.fireDate = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: alertSeconds)
localNotification.repeatInterval = .day
UIApplication.shared().scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)
How can I set a similar daily or hourly repeat with the UserNotification framework after waiting for the initial notification?
let alertDays = 3.0
let alertSeconds = alertDays * 24.0 * 60.0 * 60.0
let content: UNMutableNotificationContent = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Reminder Title"
content.subtitle = "Reminder Subtitle"
content.body = "Reminder Message"
let calendar = Calendar.current
let alarmTime = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: alertSeconds)
let alarmTimeComponents = calendar.components([.day, .hour, .minute], from: alarmTime)
let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: alarmTimeComponents, repeats: true)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: workoutAlarmIdentifier,
content: content,
trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request)
{
(error) in // ...
}

Answer 1

It seems like this is not supported, but to make a workaround you could use:
let alertDays = 3.0
let daySeconds = 86400
let alertSeconds = alertDays * daySeconds
let content: UNMutableNotificationContent = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Reminder Title"
content.subtitle = "Reminder Subtitle"
content.body = "Reminder Message"
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger.init(timeInterval: (alertSeconds), repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: workoutAlarmIdentifier,
content: content,
trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request)
{
(error) in // ...
}
in combination with didReceive(_:withContentHandler:) you can use:
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger.init(timeInterval: (daySeconds), repeats: false)
I know this isn't optimal but it should work without using deprecated classes/methods. You use repeats: false since you are intercepting the notification just before the user receives it and creating a new notification. Additionally you can use it in combination with UNNotificationAction and UNNotificationCategory if you handle multiple notifications.

This should work:
func addNotificationForAlarm(alarm: MyAlarm) {
let myAlarmNotifContent = UNMutableNotificationContent()
myAlarmNotifContent.title = "Reminder"
myAlarmNotifContent.body = alarm.activity
myAlarmNotifContent.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()
if alarm.repeatDays.count == 1 {
} else {
for index in 1...alarm.repeatDays.count {
createNotif(date: alarm.date, weekDay: index, content: myAlarmNotifContent)
}
}
}
private func createNotif(date: Date, weekDay: Int, content: UNNotificationContent) {
var dateComponent = DateComponents()
dateComponent.weekday = weekDay
dateComponent.hour = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour], from: date).hashValue
dateComponent.minute = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.minute], from: date).hashValue
let myAlarmTrigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dateComponent, repeats: true)
setupNotificationSettings()
let identifier = "Your-Notification"
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: identifier, content: content, trigger: myAlarmTrigger)
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.add(request, withCompletionHandler: { (error) in
if error != nil {
//TODO: Handle the error
}
})
}
