I am new to iOS development, but have created the app and I am trying to create a daily notification for a set time. Currently the notification executes once for the given date/time. I am unsure how to use the repeatInterval method to schedule it daily. What is the best method to repeat the notification daily ? any help would be much appreciated (Y).

    var dateComp:NSDateComponents = NSDateComponents()
    dateComp.year = 2015;
    dateComp.month = 06;
    dateComp.day = 03;
    dateComp.hour = 12;
    dateComp.minute = 55;
    dateComp.timeZone = NSTimeZone.systemTimeZone()

    var calender:NSCalendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)!
    var date:NSDate = calender.dateFromComponents(dateComp)!

    var notification:UILocalNotification = UILocalNotification()
    notification.category = "Daily Quote"
    notification.alertBody = quoteBook.randomQuote()
    notification.fireDate = date
    notification.repeatInterval = 

    UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification)

You have to provide an NSCalendarUnit value like “HourCalendarUnit” or “DayCalendarUnit” for repeating a notification.

Just add this code to repeat the local notification daily :

notification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitDay
