To generate a banner notification in Swift, you can use the User Notifications framework provided by Apple. Follow these steps:

  1. Import the UserNotifications framework at the top of your Swift file:
main.swift
import UserNotifications
25 chars
2 lines
  1. In your code, create a UNUserNotificationCenter object to manage and schedule notifications:
main.swift
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound]) { granted, error in
    if let error = error {
        // Handle the error
    } else {
        // Authorization granted
    }
}

9 lines

The above code requests authorization from the user to display banner notifications.

  1. Create a UNMutableNotificationContent object to provide the content of the notification:
main.swift
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Notification Title"
content.body = "Notification Body"

4 lines

You can customize the title and body of the notification as per your requirements.

  1. Create a UNNotificationRequest object to schedule the notification, specifying a trigger condition:
main.swift
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "Notification", content: content, trigger: trigger)
center.add(request)
201 chars
4 lines

In the above code, a time interval of 5 seconds is used as the trigger condition. You can use other trigger types such as location-based, calendar-based, or push notification-based as well.

  1. Run the app and wait for the notification to be displayed on the banner of the device.

That's it! You have successfully generated a banner notification in Swift using the User Notifications framework provided by Apple.
