didFinishLaunchingWithOptions not called

Question

I'm having trouble enabling push notifications.

with this code I try to enable the notification:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationType)(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];

    return YES;
}

It doesnt work, so I added a breakpoint in the line

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationType)(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];

But it seems this part of the code is never execute.

why is this not working?

Answer 1

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

This should be implemented in your UIApplicationDelegate, not in your UIViewController. If you have it in your UIViewController, it will never get called. Take the code out of there and put it in your UIApplicationDelegate instead.
