When I look at Apple's documentation on "Managing Your App's Notification Support" it says that for requestAuthorizationWithOptions(:)

"If your app is authorized for all of the requested interaction types, the system calls your completion handler block with the

granted

parameter set to

YES

. If one or more interaction type is disallowed, the parameter is

NO"

This is not the behavior I'm seeing though. If I ask for badge, sound and alert, and then I go into settings and disable badge and sound, I'm still getting granted set to true. Am I misunderstanding how that's supposed to work? This is how I always register for push notifications:

let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.requestAuthorization(options: [.badge, .sound, .alert]) {
    [weak center, weak self] granted, _ in
    guard granted, let center = center, let `self` = self else { return }

    center.delegate = self
    center.getNotificationSettings { settings in
        guard settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized else { return }

        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
        }
    }
}

The more I look into this it seems like the below is all that's actually needed since anything being enabled in settings returns true.

let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.requestAuthorization(options: []) {
    [weak center, weak self] granted, _ in
    guard granted, let center = center, let `self` = self else { return }

    center.delegate = self
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
    }
}
