Testing local in-app notifications without developer account?

How are you posting the notifications? UIApplication? Or the new User Notifications framework?

My code looks like:

/
    let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
    content.title =  title
    content.body = body
   
    /
    /
   
    let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger.init(timeInterval: interval, repeats: false)
    let request = UNNotificationRequest.init(identifier: "vultrManager", content: content, trigger: trigger)
   
    /
    let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
    center.add(request) { (error) in
        if error != nil {
            sent = false
        }
    }

I believe it's using the UserNotifications framework.

Indeed. I tested this in my office, using:

• a ‘clean’ developer account that was created via the public web site and has never been a member of a paid developer programme

• a newly created test app with the code shown below (basically your code with a few tweaks)

It ran on my device without any problems, and was able to display notifications.

The one thing I did not do was enable any special entitlements. In fact, given that I’m using my unpaid developer account the Capabilities tab in Xcode doesn’t even list Push Notifications as an option anymore, and I get a nice note at the bottom saying:

9 Capabilities Unavailable

I’m not sure why your app is tripping over an
