CloudKit won't reset my badge count to 0

Solution

You need to do a CKModifyBadgeOperation after processing your notifications.

Here is my Swift function which I call after marking all the notifications as read. I add the operation to the defaultContainer instead of just starting it - I wonder does that make any difference.

func resetBadgeCounter() {
    let badgeResetOperation = CKModifyBadgeOperation(badgeValue: 0)
    badgeResetOperation.modifyBadgeCompletionBlock = { (error) -> Void in
        if error != nil {
            println("Error resetting badge: \(error)")
        }
        else {
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
        }
    }
    CKContainer.defaultContainer().addOperation(badgeResetOperation)
}

Problem

I've tried a number of things and can't seem to reset the badge count from notifications comings from cloudKit. Has anyone else ran into this problem. Here is what I've tried: 1) Set the badge count locally to 0 ``` application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0; (temporarily removes the badge count). ``` No luck... 2) Call the server to clear the badge count ``` CKModifyBadgeOperation *oper = [[CKModifyBadgeOperation alloc] initWithBadgeValue:0]; [oper start]; ``` No luck... 3) Pull in all notification changes and mark them all read ``` NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray array]; CKFetchNotificationChangesOperation *operation = [[CKFetchNotificationChangesOperation alloc] initWithPreviousServerChangeToken:nil]; operation.notificationChangedBlock = ^(CKNotification *notification) { [array addObject:notification.notificationID]; }; operation.completionBlock = ^{ CKMarkNotificationsReadOperation *op = [[CKMarkNotificationsReadOperation alloc] initWithNotificationIDsToMarkRead:array]; [op start]; }; [operation start]; ``` And again no luck... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Chris
