In everything before iOS 9 there was a limit of 64 notifications that could be scheduled at any one time. Is this still true with the new notification system or can I schedule as many in advance as I'd like with the new UNUserNotifications?

Yes. I just updated an app of mine that schedules a lot of local notifications and the 64 limit is still in place.

    great to hear (or not so great), thanks for the response. – Landon Tetreault Nov 21 '16 at 03:14
  • Is there any documentation on this? – shim Aug 17 '17 at 18:54
  • https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uilocalnotification I don't see the same limit documented with the new push notification APIs, but in testing, I wasn't able to schedule more than 64 (iOS 10). I haven't checked on the iOS 11 betas yet. – Chad Podoski Aug 17 '17 at 20:58
  • Hi @ChadPodoski, did you work around this limitation to add more notifications in your app? – Isuru Sep 21 '20 at 04:06

    The only way I found to work around it was to make the last notification or two something to tell the user that the app needs to be opened. I've been meaning to look into whether I could make that last notification a recurring one as well ... which I think should be possible ... so they might get an 'Please open the app to start getting notifications again' push notification likes once a week for example. – Chad Podoski Sep 25 '20 at 21:45
