Push-Notification Change in iOS8

in ios 8 so many things change in one of them one change is related to push notification.

If you run your old push notification code in Xcode 6 then it will give you warning also some methods deprecated in ios 8
registerForRemoteNotificationTypes is deprecated in ios 8 instead of it in ios 8 we use UIUserNotificationSettings like this way:

           #if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 80000
            if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
                UIUserNotificationSettings* notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil];
                [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
            } else {
                [[UIApplication sharedApplication]
                 registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
                 (UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
                  UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
                  UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
            }
        #else
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication]
             registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
             (UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
              UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
           
 
     UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
    #endif


and for delegate methods,



      #pragma mark - Push Notification
 
    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
   
    // Prepare the Device Token for Registration (remove spaces and < >)
    NSString *TokenID = [[[[deviceToken description]
                               stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"<"withString:@""]
                              stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">" withString:@""]
                             stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @" " withString: @""];
   
     
        [ApplicationPreferences setTokenId:TokenID];
    if (DEBUG_MODE) {
    NSLog(@"device token - %@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Device Token = %@",TokenID]);
            NSUUID *oNSUUID = [[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor];
            NSLog(@"Vendor token - %@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Device Token = %@",[oNSUUID UUIDString]]);
    }
 
    }
 
    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
    {
        //register to receive notifications
        [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
    }
 
    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
        if (DEBUG_MODE) {
    NSLog(@"Push Error- %@",[NSString stringWithFormat: @"Error: %@", err]);
        }
    }
    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo{
     
    }

Thanks .

ios 8 changes for actionsheet

In ios 8 apple has changed so many things i here faced one problem in my own project so , i just want to provide the solution in replacement of UIActionsheet.

   in ios 8 UIActionSheet deprecated as well its delegate methods also deprecated. Instead of that UIAlertController with prefferedstyle 
UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet  is used. you can check this thread as well:

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Uikit/reference/UIActionSheet_Class/index.html

This example will work both in ios 8 and previous version of it.

in .h file declare this variable

@interface demoProfileForBuyer{

 UIActionSheet *ac_sheet_fordate;

    UIToolbar *pickerToolBar_fordate;

    UIDatePicker *optionPickerDate;

UIAlertController *alertController;

}

in .m file

- (void)viewDidLoad

{

    [super viewDidLoad];

    pickerToolBar_fordate = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(-8, 0, 320, 44)];

    

    pickerToolBar_fordate.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;

    [pickerToolBar_fordate sizeToFit];

    

    NSMutableArray *barItemsDate = [[NSMutableArray allkioc] init];

    

    

    UIBarButtonItem *flexSpaceDate = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];

    [barItemsDate addObject:flexSpaceDate];

    

    UIBarButtonItem *doneBtnDate = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(pickerViewDoneBirthday)];

    [barItemsDate addObject:doneBtnDate];

    

    [pickerToolBar_fordate setItems:barItemsDate animated:YES];

    

    optionPickerDate = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(-8, 44, 320, 200)];

    

    

    optionPickerDate.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;

    [optionPickerDate setMaximumDate: [NSDate date]];

    optionPickerDate.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;

    optionPickerDate.hidden = NO;

    optionPickerDate.date = [NSDate date];

    optionPickerDate.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

    

    if(IS_IOS_8){

        alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"" message:@"" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet];

        

        UIAlertAction *alertAction = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:nil];

        [alertController addAction:alertAction];

        [alertController addAction:alertAction];

        [alertController addAction:alertAction];

        [alertController addAction:alertAction];        

        [alertController.view addSubview:pickerToolBar_fordate];

        [alertController.view addSubview:optionPickerDate];        

    } else {

    ac_sheet_fordate = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"test"

                                                   delegate:self

                                          cancelButtonTitle:@"cancel"

                                     destructiveButtonTitle:nil

                                          otherButtonTitles:@"dev",@"dev", nil];

    [ac_sheet_fordate setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackOpaque];

    [ac_sheet_fordate setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

    [ac_sheet_fordate addSubview:pickerToolBar_fordate];

    [ac_sheet_fordate addSubview:optionPickerDate];

    }

    }

// when date picker open 

   - (IBAction)showBirthdayPicker:(id)sender{

    //    self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, -220, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);

    UIButton *btnsender = sender;

    //[ac_sheet_fordate showInView:self.view];

    self.scrForEditProfile.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 1000);

    if(IS_IOS_8){

            popover = alertController.popoverPresentationController;

            }

                [self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

            

    } else {

    if(IS_IOS_7){

        [ac_sheet_fordate showInView:[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow];

        ac_sheet_fordate.frame = CGRectMake(0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height-ac_sheet_fordate.frame.size.height, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, ac_sheet_fordate.frame.size.height);

    }

    

}

// when date picker open user tap on done button

- (IBAction)pickerViewDoneBirthday{

    

    if(IS_IOS_8){

        [self.presentedViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];

        

    } else {

        [ac_sheet_fordate dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];

   

    }

    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

    [formatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"];

    birthday_date = optionPickerDate.date;

    [self.btnShowDatePicker setTitle:[formatter stringFromDate:optionPickerDate.date] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [self.btnShowDatePicker setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [self.btnShowDatePicker setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

    self.scrForEditProfile.contentSize=CGSizeMake(320 , 700);

    [self.scrForEditProfile scrollsToTop];

    

}


I hope this will help, and this code will display the same action sheet kind of view as it displayed in ios 7 .
