Question

I am trying to fire a local notification every day on 12:01 AM , but I don’t know why my code does not work. Would you please help me to find the problem?

local = [[UILocalNotification alloc]init];

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSPersianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];

//edited:
[dateComps setYear:1390]; //2012
[dateComps setMonth:10]; //1
[dateComps setDay:9];    //29

 local.repeatInterval = 5;

[dateComps setHour:00];
[dateComps setMinute:1];
[dateComps setSecond:00];


local.fireDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComps];
local.alertBody = @"HELLO";
local.alertAction = @"View";
local.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]scheduleLocalNotification:local];

Answer 1

You’re not setting the notification’s repeatInterval property and your date components are missing a month, year and day. The defaults are zero, so your fireDate is way back in the past.

Also, you might want to be using NSGregorianCalendar instead of NSPersianCalendar.
