Registering for Push Notifications in Xcode 8 Swift 3 0

Question

I m trying to get my app working in Xcode 8 0  and am running into an error  I know this code worked fine in previous versions of swift  but I m assuming the code for this is changed in the new version  Here s the code I m trying to run   let settings   UIUserNotificationSettings forTypes    Sound   Alert   Badge   categories  nil       UIApplication sharedApplication   registerUserNotificationSettings settings  UIApplication shared   registerForRemoteNotifications     The error that I m getting is  Argument labels   forTypes   categories    do not match any available overloads   Is there a different command that I could try to get this working

In iOS10 instead of your code  you should request an authorization for notification with the following   Don t forget to add the UserNotifications Framework   if  available iOS 10 0               UNUserNotificationCenter current   requestAuthorization   alert   sound   badge      granted  Bool  error  NSError   in                Do something here                   Also  the correct code for you is  use in the else of the previous condition  for example     let setting   UIUserNotificationSettings types    alert   badge   sound   categories  nil  UIApplication shared   registerUserNotificationSettings setting  UIApplication shared   registerForRemoteNotifications     Finally  make sure Push Notification is activated under target-  Capabilities -  Push notification   set it on On

I had issues with the answers here in converting the deviceToken Data object to a string to send to my server with the current beta of Xcode 8  Especially the one that was using deviceToken description as in 8 0b6 that would return  32 Bytes  which isn t very useful     This is what worked for me     Create an extension on Data to implement a  hexString  method   extension Data       func hexString   - gt  String           return self reduce       string  byte in             string   String format    02X   byte                      And then use that when you receive the callback from registering for remote notifications   func application   application  UIApplication  didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken  Data        let deviceTokenString   deviceToken hexString          Send to your server here

Heads up  you should be using the main thread for this action   let center   UNUserNotificationCenter current   center requestAuthorization options   badge   alert   sound      granted  error  in         if granted               DispatchQueue main async execute                    UIApplication shared registerForRemoteNotifications
