POHow to schedule more local notifications in iOS when notification crosses limit of 64
text
Body
copied!<p>I am developing a calendar app which consists of multiple events(e.g 500 events) which consists of birthdays.I am downloading events form web service. I want to give user the alert on each birthdate at a specific time sat 10:00 AM on the birthday. I am using local notification for scheduling a alert but I am stuck as iOS allows only 64 notifications per app and I have multiple birthdays. I don't know how to schedule more notifications once the app crosses the limit. Please suggest how would I solve this problem. below is my code to schedule notifications</p> <pre><code>- (void)scheduleNotification:(NSMutableArray *)datesArray withMessage:(NSMutableArray *)messagesArray NotificationID:(NSString *)notificationID { NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; [formatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle]; [formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle]; NSDateFormatter *formatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; [formatter1 setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle]; [formatter1 setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"]; // NSDate *myTime = [formatter dateFromString:@"06:10 PM"]; NSDate *myTime = [formatter dateFromString:fireTime]; for (int i = 0; i < [datesArray count]; i++) { NSDate *myDate = [formatter1 dateFromString:[datesArray objectAtIndex:i]]; NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [calendar components:NSDayCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:myDate]; NSDateComponents *timeComponents = [calendar components:NSHourCalendarUnit|NSMinuteCalendarUnit fromDate:myTime]; NSDateComponents * newComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc]init]; NSDateComponents *todayComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSDayCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]]; int day = [dateComponents day]; int month = [dateComponents month]; [newCompoents setDay:[dateComponents day]]; [newCompoents setMonth:[dateComponents month]]; if (day >= [todayComponents day] && month >= [todayComponents month]) { NSLog(@"day = %d, month = %d", day, month); [newComponents setYear:[todayComponents year]]; } else { NSLog(@"%d, %d", day, month); [newComponents setYear:[todayComponents year]+1]; } [newComponents setHour:[timeComponents hour]]; [newComponents setMinute:[timeComponents minute]]; NSDate *combDate = [calendar dateFromComponents: newComponents]; localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init]; if (localNotif == nil) return; localNotif.fireDate = combDate; localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]; // Notification details NSString *message = [@"Wish" stringByAppendingFormat:@" %@%@", [messagesArray objectAtIndex:i],@" On His Birthday"]; localNotif.alertBody = message; // Set the action button localNotif.alertAction = @"View"; localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName; localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1; // Specify custom data for the notification NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:notificationID forKey:notificationID]; localNotif.userInfo = infoDict; // Schedule the notification [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif]; } } </code></pre> <p>correct me if I am making any mistakes and suggest how to schedule more notifications once 64 limit is crossed.</p>
