UILocalNotification with repeatInterval set NSWeekdayCalendarUnit doesn't trigger weekly - ios

Question

I'm trying to setup local notification to repeat weekly.
Here's my setup:
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
...
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSWeekdayCalendarUnit;
In console log:
localNotif: {fire date = Friday, April 24, 2015 at 12:27:33 PM Singapore Standard Time, time zone = Asia/Singapore (GMT+8) offset 28800, repeat interval = NSWeekdayCalendarUnit, repeat count = UILocalNotificationInfiniteRepeatCount, next fire date = Saturday, April 25, 2015 at 12:27:33 PM Singapore Standard Time, user info = {
KUserLocalNotficationKey = "2015-04-24 04:27:33 +0000";
}}
As you can see, the next fire date is trigger on the next day. Is this a bug?
I've tested it in iOS 7.1, 8.1, 8.3.

Answer 1

you have to code like this
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
...
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear;
It trigger notification on weekly bases.

Answer 2

PLz Try this
UILocalNotification *localNotif=[[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
localNotif.fireDate =currentDate;
localNotif.timeZone=[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotif.alertBody = #"MazeRoll";
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
localNotif.repeatInterval=NSWeekCalendarUnit;
UIApplication *app=[UIApplication sharedApplication];
[app scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
NSLog(#"sdfsdfsdf%#",[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications]);

Answer 3

You can set local notification with NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear and setting up proper fire date.
UILocalNotification *localNotification=[[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
localNotification.fireDate =[NSDate date]; // set your week day on which repeatedly you want local notfication. for example Monday, then set Fire date of next monday.
localNotification.timeZone=[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.repeatInterval=NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear;
NSLog(#"%#",localNotification);
Hope this helps. Enjoy Coding !!

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSDate *futureTime = [currentDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*168];
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSTimeZone *timeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
[calendar setTimeZone:timeZone];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit fromDate:futureTime];
if ([components hour] >= 19) { // make it the next day
[components setDay:[components day] + 1 ];
}
[components setHour:8];
[components setMinute:00];
NSDate *alertTime = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
NSLog(#"alertTime %#",alertTime.description);
UILocalNotification *localNotif=[[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
localNotif.fireDate =alertTime;
localNotif.timeZone=[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotif.alertBody = #"MazeRoll";
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
localNotif.repeatInterval=NSDayCalendarUnit;
UIApplication *app=[UIApplication sharedApplication];
[app scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
NSLog(#"sdfsdfsdf%#",[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications]);
