Local Notifications/Alarms similar to AlarmManager from Android

siaeleni

Hello,

I am new to iOS app and I would really appreciate your help.

I want to implement Notifications/Alarms that will run foreground and/or background for my iOS App.
I want to set multiple alarms and being appeared let's say every day.

I couldn't be able to find a proper solution, but I found the following:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/platform/user-notifications/advanced-user-notifications?tabs=windows
Do you think that that will work in my case? Any comments will be helpful.
How can I avoid being rejecting from the Apple store?

Thanks

I think in your situation you should use Background Fetch

https://docs.microsoft.com/pl-pl/xamarin/ios/app-fundamentals/backgrounding/ios-backgrounding-techniques/updating-an-application-in-the-background

Remember that on iOS your background fetch interval cannot be smaller than 15 minutes. It's a limitation of an iOS operating system.

Will I have issues with App Store? Do you know if that will be rejected for any reason?

If you want to make a app like built-in alarm clock (works both on foreground and background) , i would say it is impossible .

Hi ColeX,

I checked that they provide with a solution like this
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications
The one you sent me is kind of old, I am not sure if we cannot still make it.
