App badge doesn't change when using PushKit framework pushes

Question

Since I switched to using PushKit framework for application, there are no app badge changes on push received.

Changes to APNS implementation I've done to use PushKit :

• On server side, I replaced APNS certificates with VOIP push certificates.

• On client side, I replaced:

  1. registerForRemoteNotifications with

     PKPushRegistry *pushRegistry = [[PKPushRegistry alloc] initWithQueue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];
     
     pushRegistry.delegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
     pushRegistry.desiredPushTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:PKPushTypeVoIP];`
     

  2. didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken and didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError with didUpdatePushCredentials
  3. didReceiveRemoteNotification and didReceiveRemoteNotification FetchComplitionHandler with didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload

As a result, didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload gets called, and I see valid badge number in payload dictionary, but, unfortunately app badge doesn't change.

In your method didReceiveRemoteNotification, you should update the badge number yourself by setting it like this:

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    [application setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:1];
}
