Hi,
I am using the (deprecated) UILocalNotification class in my app right now, because it fulfills a need that the UserNotification framework doesn't fulfill even 5 years after it was introduced. In my app, users can setup 'reminders' for different tasks, and those could be one-off tasks, or repeating tasks that start from a particular date/time. The UserNotifications system doesn't work with the latter requirement; it doesn't allow for you to setup a repeating alert which starts at a specific date/time. You can either setup a one-off alert in the future, or you can setup a repeating alert which starts as soon you set it up. As an example, I want to be reminded to call a friend of mine every week, from July 10th onward ... with the UserNotification framework, setting a 'repeat' will mean it'll fire an alert every week, starting from today.
So what's the best way to build a solution to this? Is there a way to 'intercept' the alert before it's shown (if it's before the date we want it to start firing)? Should I be looking at some 3rd-party services to do this remotely?
Thanks!
