I want to send a notification on specific days of the week

Question

I just want to send a local notification at 11:55 am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I couldn't find a detailed source. Can you help me?

First of all, please read https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications. Regarding local notifications this article should help: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/scheduling_a_notification_locally_from_your_app — D. Mika, Jan 14 '19 at 11:19
@D.Mika dateComponents.weekday = 3 So how do I do this for more than one day. — Umut Can Alparslan, Jan 14 '19 at 11:36
@Umut Can Alparslan: AFAIK you have to create a UNCalendarNotificationTrigger and a UNNotificationRequest for each weekday. — D. Mika, Jan 14 '19 at 11:39

You can use UNCalendarNotificationTrigger and create a trigger. You can set date, timezone, year, month, day, hour, minute and if need repeat or not. Next, create a request UNNotificationRequest, and finish adding the request to Notification Center.

Like this:

import UserNotifications

let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: DateComponents(calendar: Calendar.current, timeZone: Calendar.current.timeZone, year: 2019, month: 1, day: 14, hour: 11, minute: 55, repeats: true )
            let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "identifier", content: content, trigger: trigger)
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)

You can create (schedule) only 64 local notifications
