Do I need to enable push notifications for my app id if I only use local notifications?

Question

Currently my app schedules a local notification for one week after the last time the app was run. Everything works fine in testing, but now that I've submitted the app I got this message from Apple:

"Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment" entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment" entitlement. "

I'm not actually interested in push notifications, I only want to use local notifications. Do I still need to enable Push Notifications for my App ID and recreate the provisioning profile?

Edit: The specific answer to my question is, no. You do not need to enable push notification for an app id in order to use local notifications.

Answer 1

If you are not interested in Push Notifications then please remove the following function from App Delegate of your project and everything will be smooth :

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
{

}

and remove this code from applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions Function:

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