Configure the Notification Content extension

With the AEPNotificationContent package now available after following the installation steps, the app and notification content extension must be configured to use it.

App configuration

1. Ensure the AppDelegate implements UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate.

   @main
   class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
       ...
   }
   

2. In your AppDelegate, after the user has granted your app permission to display notifications, create any custom notification actions needed by your app and register a category with identifier AEPNotification.

   let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
   
   // ask user for permission to display notifications
   center.requestAuthorization(options: [.badge, .sound, .alert]) { [weak self] granted, _ in
       
       // return early if the user does not consent 
       guard granted else { return }
       
       center.delegate = self
       
       // create a category with desired actions and `AEPNotification` as the identifier
       let myCategory = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: "AEPNotification",
                                               actions: [],
                                               intentIdentifiers: [],
                                               options: [.customDismissAction])
   
       // register the category
       UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories([myCategory])
       
       // if not done elsewhere, register the app to receive remote notifications
       DispatchQueue.main.async {
           application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
       }
   }
