I am new to iOS development, but have created the app and I am trying to create a daily notification for specific time like (10AM). Now notification are coming too many if i se my mobile device time to 10AM. I want to trigger a local notification only once at given specific time that is at 10 AM , and I want to repeat this daily. What is the best method to repeat the notification daily ?

Here is my code 

func fire(){ let dateComp:NSDateComponents = NSDateComponents() dateComp.hour = 10 dateComp.minute = 00 dateComp.timeZone = NSTimeZone.systemTimeZone() let calender:NSCalendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierIndian)! let date:NSDate = calender.dateFromComponents(dateComp)! let localNotificationSilent = UILocalNotification() localNotificationSilent.fireDate = date localNotificationSilent.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnit.Day localNotificationSilent.alertBody = "Started!" localNotificationSilent.alertAction = "swipe to hear!" localNotificationSilent.timeZone = NSCalendar.currentCalendar().timeZone localNotificationSilent.category = "PLAY_CATEGORY" UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(localNotificationSilent) }

Working in Swift 3, iOS 10:

UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization( options: [.alert, .sound, .badge], completionHandler: {userDidAllow, error in //if userDidAllow : do something if you want to }) //Set notification to trigger 11:30AM everyday var dateComponents = DateComponents() dateComponents.hour = 11 dateComponents.minute = 30 let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dateComponents, repeats: true) //Set your content let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.title = "Your notification title" content.body = "Your notification body" let request = UNNotificationRequest( identifier: "yourIdentifier", content: content, trigger: trigger ) UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)

Hey, I am not able to fire notification at specific time. I did same code.

your problem is fire date which is not proper

you can create fire date like this way

 let today = Date() let calendar = NSCalendar.current let components = calendar.dateComponents([.day, .month, .year], from: today) var dateComp:DateComponents = DateComponents() dateComp.day = components.day dateComp.month = components.month dateComp.year = components.year dateComp.hour = 10 dateComp.minute = 00 let date = calendar.date(from: dateComp)

if you want to verify fire date then you can check like this way

 let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MM yyyy hh:mm:ss" let fireDate = dateFormatter.string(from: date!) print("fireDate: \(fireDate)")

Now it's time to set fire date to local notification

localNotificationSilent.fireDate = date // no need to set time zone Remove bellow line localNotificationSilent.timeZone = NSCalendar.currentCalendar().timeZone

Notification code

 let localNotificationSilent = UILocalNotification() localNotificationSilent.fireDate = date localNotificationSilent.repeatInterval = .day localNotificationSilent.alertBody = "Started!" localNotificationSilent.alertAction = "swipe to hear!" localNotificationSilent.category = "PLAY_CATEGORY" UIApplication.shared.scheduleLocalNotification(localNotificationSilent)

I hope it will help you.
