# actualDeliveryDate

The date this notification was actually delivered.

## Declaration

```swift
var actualDeliveryDate: Date? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The notification center will set this value if a notification is put in the scheduled list and the delivery time arrives. If the notification is delivered directly using the deliver(_:) method of the NSUserNotificationCenter class, this value is set to the deliveryDate value. If the deliveryDate value nil  this value is set to the current date. This value is used to sort the list of notifications in the user interface.
