title: Confused about iOS notifications
body: <p>I've read a lot about notifications in iOS now and I'm quite confused about how to reliably schedule notifications, actually. Let me explain my scenario:</p>
  
  <p>I created an Android app that holds a fixed list of dates. The user can not add or remove dates, he can only view that list (garbage removal dates for my area). You can, however, configure that you want to be notified the day before. I've made that app so that when the device starts, a notification timer is started that fires at a certain time, checks whether there are pending items for the next day and if so, shows a notification. Then it re-schedules itself for the next day. So normally, the user doesn't need to open the app at all to receive notifications. He only opens the app once to configure his street, which triggers the first scheduled event, or to actually see the list of upcoming dates.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now trying to port this app to iOS and I understand from what I've read that there's no way to replicate the way I'm doing stuff on Android. I understand that I can create up to 64 notifications for certain points of time in advance, but without the user opening the app at all I can not be sure to reliably schedule all the notifications I may need.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a reliable way to simulate the described Android behavior? Or is there a way to force the user to open up the app once every 30 days or so?</p>
