Push notifications stopped working on iOS 8 - ios

Question

My iOS app stopped receiving push notifications although I upgraded the code as per the documentations and this.
Here's the code I'm using:
In my AppDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert |
UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound];
}
The didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken method is getting called, as it was before, so everything seems fine.
Also, my test device has the notifications enabled.
But when sending a push from Parse.com it no longer arrives.
EDIT 1:
None of the answers work. I updated my Parse.com framework to version 1.6.2 (the latest) which doesn't help either, and I'm copying my code again - this time the updated version based on the answers:
Inside didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound |UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
// [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
} else {
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}
And these are the delegate methods:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)newDeviceToken {
NSLog(#"didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken CALLED");
// Store the deviceToken in the current installation and save it to Parse.
PFInstallation *currentInstallation = [PFInstallation currentInstallation];
[currentInstallation setDeviceTokenFromData:newDeviceToken];
[currentInstallation addUniqueObject:#"Test8Channel" forKey:#"channels"];
if([PFUser currentUser]/* && [[PFUser currentUser] objectId] != nil*/) {
[currentInstallation addUniqueObject:[PFUser currentUser] forKey:kOwnerKey];
}
[currentInstallation saveInBackground];
}
#ifdef IS_OS_8_OR_LATER
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings {
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
NSLog(#"didRegisterUserNotificationSettings CALLED");
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString*)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler {
NSLog(#"handleActionWithIdentifier CALLED");
//handle the actions
if ([identifier isEqualToString:#"declineAction"]){
NSLog(#"handleActionWithIdentifier %#", #"declineAction");
}
else if ([identifier isEqualToString:#"answerAction"]){
NSLog(#"handleActionWithIdentifier %#", #"answerAction");
}
}
#endif
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error {
if (error.code == 3010) {
NSLog(#"Push notifications are not supported in the iOS Simulator.");
} else {
// show some alert or otherwise handle the failure to register.
NSLog(#"application:didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError: %#", error);
}
}
Both didRegisterUserNotificationSettings and didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken are getting called and it seems fine. But the push doesn't arrive.
EDIT 2:
I'm noticing that if I call both
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
and
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
inside the if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
the delegate's didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken is getting called twice. I'm not sure how meaningful this is.
Getting desperate here.

Answer 1

//-- Set Notification
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications)])
{
// iOS 8 Notifications
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
// iOS < 8 Notifications
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
}

Answer 2

Use this simple conditional block for handle it. because some methods/classes are updated with version
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
//ios8
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
UIUserNotificationSettings* notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
.......
}
}
else
{
// ios7
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#selector(registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:)])
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
.........
}
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[self enableNotifications:application];
return YES;
}
#define iOS8_OR_NEWER ( [ [ [ UIDevice currentDevice ] systemVersion ] floatValue ] >= 8.0 )
- (void)enableNotifications:(UIApplication *)application
{
if (iOS8_OR_NEWER) {
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
} else {
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
