ask user for permission to show alert when firing local notification

Question

I want to show an alert when the local notification is fired, but for that I have to ask for permission, as it says to me when I run the app on my iPhone:

Attempting to schedule a local notification {fire date = Friday 13 June 2014 12 h 10 min 27 s Central European Summer Time, time zone = (null), repeat interval = 0, repeat count = UILocalNotificationInfiniteRepeatCount, next fire date = Friday 13 June 2014 12 h 10 min 27 s Central European Summer Time, user info = (null)} with an alert but haven't received permission from the user to display alerts

How can I do that? Here´s the code as it is now:

    UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
    localNotif.fireDate = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:timeUntilNotification];
    localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
    localNotif.alertBody = @"ZEIT!";
    localNotif.alertAction = @"Show me the Timer!";
    localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationIconBadgeNumber] +1;


    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];

Answer 1

add this code, it will show a alert view to ask user for permission.

if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert|UIUserNotificationTypeSound|UIUserNotificationTypeBadge
                                                                                                          categories:nil]];
}

you can add this code in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions; method, so that the app will ask your user when they launch the app, or you can add this code when you set Local Notification, it's up to you.
