Local notifications not working (swift) - ios

Question

I am looking to fire local notifications. I have tried to create this and I was successful, there were no errors but when I run the app in the simulator local notifications don't execute
code in app delegate
application.registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Alert | .Badge | .Sound, categories: nil))
// play default sound
return true
}
and the view controller
class TechByteSchedulingViewController:UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var datePicker: UIDatePicker!
#IBAction func DateChosen(sender: UIButton) {
func sendNotification(sender: UIButton) {
var localNotification = UILocalNotification()
localNotification.fireDate = datePicker.date
localNotification.repeatInterval = .CalendarUnitDay
localNotification.alertBody = "check out your daily byte"
localNotification.alertAction = "Open"
localNotification.timeZone = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone()
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber + 1
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveLocalNotification notification: UILocalNotification) {
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
}
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
}
}
override func viewDidDisappear(animated: Bool) {
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

Base on what I see you implement some function inside of the ButtonAction function which is wrong... you should implement the sendNotficationfunction outside of ButtonAction then called it inside of ButtonAction
class TechByteSchedulingViewController:UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var datePicker: UIDatePicker!
#IBAction func DateChosen(sender: UIButton) {
self.sendNotification()
}
func sendNotification() {
var localNotification = UILocalNotification()
localNotification.fireDate = datePicker.date
localNotification.repeatInterval = .CalendarUnitDay
localNotification.alertBody = "check out your daily byte"
localNotification.alertAction = "Open"
localNotification.timeZone = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone()
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber + 1
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveLocalNotification notification: UILocalNotification) {
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
}
}
