registerForRemoteNotifications method not being called properly

Read the code in UIApplication.h.

You will know how to do that.

First:

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

add Code like this

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0  //Right, that is the point    UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound) categories:nil];    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];#else    //register to receive notifications    UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];#endif

Second:

Add this Function

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings{    //register to receive notifications    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];}- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler{    //handle the actions    if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"declineAction"]){    }    else if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"answerAction"]){    }}#endif

And your can get the deviceToken in

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

if it still not work , use this function and NSLog the error

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error

A couple of observations:

• the question was using REMOTE, not local
• some questions deal with local, that is a completely different thing
• I agree that answer time can be very long, but you must implement call backs (aka delegate methods), as other people pointed out
• do NOT test against compiler flag, is conceptually and practically wrong

• test presence of selectors as in this code:

  func registerForPushForiOS7AndAbove(){UIApplication.sharedApplication()let application = UIApplication.sharedApplication()if application.respondsToSelector(Selector("registerUserNotificationSettings:")) {    let notifSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Sound | .Alert | .Badge,        categories: nil)    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(notifSettings)    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()}else{    application.registerForRemoteNotificationTypes( .Sound | .Alert | .Badge )}

  }

(don't missUIBackgroundModes in PList.. can be done in Capabilities)

In iOS 8 the system won't ask the user to allow your app to send Push (Remote) Notifications, it's allowed by default.

The user may opt-out from allowing Notifications from your app on Settings > Yor App > Notifications > Allow Notifications.
