Remote Notification iOS 8

Question

How can I get the Device Token for remote notification in iOS 8? I used the method didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken in AppDelegate in iOS < 8, and it returned the device token. But in iOS 8, it does not.

Read the code in UIApplication.h.

You will know how to do that.

First:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

add Code like this

if ([application respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
  UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeAlert 
      | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge 
      | UIUserNotificationTypeSound) categories:nil];
  [application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
#endif
} else {
  UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
  [application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}

if you not using both Xcode 5 and Xcode 6 ,try this code

if ([application respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
  UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
      |UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound
      |UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
  [application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
} else {
  UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
  [application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}

Second:

Add this Function

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
    //register to receive notifications
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler
{
    //handle the actions
    if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"declineAction"]){
    }
    else if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"answerAction"]){
    }
}
#endif

And your can get the deviceToken in

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken

if it still not work , use this function and NSLog the error

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
