So my app allows users to create a daily reminder that pops up as a notification at their desired time of day.
Here in Australia, we’ve just exited daylight savings, which has changed those daily reminder times by an hour.
What I’d like to happen is, if a user asks for a notification at 9 am every morning they continue to get that notification at 9 am even after a daylight savings transition.
I’d be happy if the notification occurred at the time the device thinks is 9 am rather than using what I guess is a static UTC +/- comparison.
My understanding is iOSNotificationCalendarTrigger only accepts the specified hour/minute and does its own secret determination of precisely what that time represents(?)
Reviving this as daylight savings is back and my solution failed.
I had set notifications with UTC = False, with the intent to use local time. However, when daylight savings flipped over, all my notifications are out by an hour.
I think what it’s done is convert to UTC time in creating the recurring notification. So while the time is correct on creation, it becomes wrong once local time changes.
Unless I have created the trigger incorrectly.
Again, what I want is for the notification/reminder to fire according to the local time on the device - even if I’ve changed timezones or gone into daylight savings. If it’s 7 a.m. for me and my phone, I want the reminder to display.
I’m using visual scripting - here’s my creation logic.
Update for any who might have the same issue: this has been confirmed as a bug:
“Your bug report [iOS] Local time is ignored when iOSNotificationCalendarTrigger.UtcTime is set to false and the device’s local time changes has been confirmed”
