Weekday Local Notification Not Firing - ios

Question

I'm building an application that allows the user to have a local notification to repeat every weekday, because apple doesn't have a repeat interval for WeekDays I needed to create a local notification for every week day. I made a for loop looping 5 times the number of days in a work week. However it doesn't seem to be firing. But when I got to delete the notifications I see all five, the just wont fire. This is what my code looks like.
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = _alarmTime;
localNotification.alertBody = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
localNotification.alertAction = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification.soundName = #"sound_ring.caf";
NSCalendar *gregCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponent = [gregCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekCalendarUnit fromDate:_alarmTime];
switch (_repeatInt) {
case 1:
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitDay;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
_repeatString = #"Everyday";
break;
case 2:
//Attempting to create 5 local notifications with different days but same time.
for (int i = 2; i <= 6; i++){
[dateComponent setWeekday:i]; // 2 = mon // 3= tues // 4 = wends // 5 = thurs // 6 = fri
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
UILocalNotification *localNotification2 = [localNotification copy];
localNotification2.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification2.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification2];
NSLog(#"%D",i);
}
If anyone has any ideas please let me know! Thanks in advance.
Update:
NSDate *startDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
[dateComponent setMonth:0];
[dateComponent setDay:i]; // 2 = mon // 3= tues // 4 = wends // 5 = thurs // 6 = fri
[dateComponent setYear:0];
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateByAddingComponents:dateComponent toDate:startDate options:0];
UILocalNotification *localNotification2 = [localNotification copy];
localNotification2.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification2.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification2];
NSLog(#"%D",i);

Okay I was finaly able to get local notifications to repeat every weekday, I added [setHour] and [setMinute] as well as changed the int in the for loop to a NSUInteger. Here is my code below.
NSCalendar *gregCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponent = [gregCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekCalendarUnit fromDate:_alarmTime];
switch (_repeatInt) {
case 1:
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitDay;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
_repeatString = #"Everyday";
break;
case 2:
for (NSUInteger i = 2; i <= 6; i++) {
NSDateComponents *components = [gregCalendar components:(NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute) fromDate:_alarmTime];
NSInteger hour = [components hour];
NSInteger minute = [components minute];
[dateComponent setMinute:minute];
[dateComponent setWeekday:i]; // 2 = mon // 3= tues // 4 = wends // 5 = thurs // 6 = fri
[dateComponent setHour:hour];
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
UILocalNotification *localNotification2 = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification2.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification2.alertBody = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification2.timeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
localNotification2.alertAction = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification2.soundName = #"sound_ring.caf";
localNotification2.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification2];
NSLog(#"%lu",(unsigned long)i);
}

They don't fire because the date you give them is invalid.
Here's how I generated the date for X number of days in the future:
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitDay) fromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSDate *startDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
[components setMonth:0];
[components setDay:X];
[components setYear:0];
NSDate *endDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:startDate options:0];
