Why is app not getting registered for push notifications in iOS 8?

Question

I upgarded my Xcode to Xcode 6.0.1, now remote notification registration is not happening for iOS 8 device. It is working fine for iOS 7 device.

I have added the code in app delegate as mentioned below:

    //-- Set Notification
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
    UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
     |UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound|UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];

    NSLog(@"current notifications : %@", [[UIApplication sharedApplication] currentUserNotificationSettings]);
}
else
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
     (UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];
}

Even the current notification is present, and it is not nil.

And yet the below method is not called :

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

Screenshot below explains that I have enabled certain options in background mode:

And the notification is set in the device settings for my app.

You need to call

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];

in your iOS8 code path, after registering the user notification settings.
