Local notification won't send after incrementing time by one day - ios

Question

I'm creating an app that delivers daily local notifications at a time specified by the user via the app interface.
During testing, I schedule 20 daily local notifications to cover 20 days. On the last day, it's up to the user to tap the button to schedule 20 more.
When I run the app, it only sends the first notification. The remaining notifications never get sent. How can I fix my code so that the time is incremented by one day?
// Function that schedules the 20 notifications in advance so each one is delivered every day
func scheduleNotif() {
// Notification #1
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Good Morning \(name)!"
content.body = sendMessage()
content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()
// Time in which notification will fire
let dailyTime = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour, .minute,], from: timePick.date)
let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dailyTime, repeats: false)
// The identifier for the notification so that it is distinguishable from others in code
let identifier = "Positive Message"
// Requesting for notification to be delivered
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: identifier, content: content, trigger: trigger)
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.add(request) { (error : Error?) in
if let theError = error {
print(theError.localizedDescription)
}
}
// Notification #2

dailyTime1.hour! += 24
let trigger1 = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dailyTime1, repeats: false)
let identifier1 = "Positive Message1"
let request1 = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: identifier1, content: content1, trigger: trigger1)

Answer 1

You set your notification fine. But please rethink your code.
like in some function try to use like this. I am not writing your code just an example to help you to understand
func someFunction() {
for i in 1..<21 {
var notificationR = UILocalNotification()
notificationR = setUpNotification(notificationR)
notificationR.fireDate = Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: Double(i))
notificationR = publishLocalNotification(notificationR)
}
}
func setUpNotification(_ notification: UILocalNotification) -> UILocalNotification {
notification.alertBody = "Positive message"
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
notification.timeZone = TimeZone.current
notification.repeatInterval = NSCalendar.Unit.day
return notification
}
func publishLocalNotification(_ notification: UILocalNotification) -> UILocalNotification {
UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
UIApplication.shared.scheduleLocalNotification(notification)
return notification
}
