Simple C# iOS Notification

My device asks me if I allow notifications, but even though I click "accept", the app still doesn't display notifications a minute after I startup the app.

Is there a certain Xcode/Unity Player Preferences setting I have to do in order to make notifications work, or...?

Edit: I've turned Notifications on in Xcode, btw.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using LocalNotification = UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification;
5.  
6. public class NotificationSystem : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification notif = new UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification();
9.     LocalNotification newNotif;
10.  
11.     // Use this for initialization
12.     void Start () {
13.         if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("New") == 0) //0 = New
14.             RegisterForNotifications ();
15.         else
16.             PlayerPrefs.SetInt ("New", 1); //1 = Returning
17.  
18.         //Set new one 1 minute from now:
19.         newNotif.fireDate = System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);
20.         notif.alertBody = "Come back! Any time is the right time to practice your speaking skills!";
21.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.ScheduleLocalNotification (newNotif);
22.     }
23.  
24.     void RegisterForNotifications () {
25.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.RegisterForNotifications (UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationType.Alert |
26.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationType.Badge |
27.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationType.Sound);
28.     }
29.  
30.  
31. }

 

You have 2 LocalNotification fields: notif and newNotif. newNotif is never instantiated so presumably you get a null reference exception at line 19?

 

newNotif actually is instantiated at Line 9. (so no error)

Fyi: there are no errors except for 4 clear-able errors about InitWrapper and a NullRef at line 26 (fireDate)...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. newNotif.fireDate = System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);
3.  

What is wrong with this ^ ?

 

This alone:

Code (csharp):

1.     LocalNotification newNotif;

Does not instantiate newNotif. It's still null at this point.

So if you were to try to access fireDate through newNotif (which is null), you get a NullRef error.

You need to instantiate it first (just like you did with notif in the line above).

 

So I instantiated it like you said above, but it still gives me NullRefExcep for Line 26 (27 in this case)
Updated Code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using LocalNotification = UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification;
6. //using UnityEngine.iOS;
7.  
8. public class NotificationSystem : MonoBehaviour {
9.  
10.     UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification notif = new UnityEngine.iOS.LocalNotification();
11.     LocalNotification newNotif = new LocalNotification();
12.  
13.     // Use this for initialization
14.     void Start () {
15.         Screen.sleepTimeout = SleepTimeout.NeverSleep; //Stop Dimming
16.  
17.         if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("New") == 0) //0 = New
18.             RegisterForNotifications ();
19.         else
20.             PlayerPrefs.SetInt ("New", 1); //1 = Returning
21.  
22.         if (UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.localNotificationCount > 0 || UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.scheduledLocalNotifications.Length > 0) { //If open app & Notification Scheduled
23.             UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.CancelAllLocalNotifications(); //Clear it
24.         }
25.  
26.         //Set new one 1 minute from now:
27.         newNotif.fireDate = System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);
28.         notif.alertBody = "Come back! Any time is the right time to practice your speaking skills!";
29.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.ScheduleLocalNotification (newNotif);
30.     }
31.  
32.     void RegisterForNotifications () {
33.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.RegisterForNotifications (UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationType.Alert |
34.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationType.Badge |
35.         UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationType.Sound);
36.     }
37.    
38.  
39. }
40.  

 

For variables that are part of the class like that, you may need to reset it (or remove and re-add) the component to make it take effect. Or, you can just initialize it in Start() and be sure.

 

Aha okay! So I solved the error on Line 27 by doing Initialization at Start().

However, I'm still getting this error: (Maybe it's because I'm on Mac , when Notif is for iOS?)

 

Try moving the initialization for "notif" into Start, as well (and remove it from the class body).

 

That fixed all the errors! Thanks!!!
