(Swift 3) I need to send a notification to the user to open the app at a specific time. Better to use a local or push notification?

Question

I have 2 options here that I've found, the LocalNotification, or the UNMutableNotification (through the UserNotifications). Which of the 2 would suit my need of sending a notification every day at some set time? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Assuming you are working with iOS 10+, you should schedule your notifications using a UNNotificationRequest , using a UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger to set the fire dates

Per the Apple documentation , UILocalNotification was deprecated in iOS 10
