# scheduleLocalNotification(_:)

Schedules a local notification for delivery at its encapsulated date and time.

## Declaration

```swift
func scheduleLocalNotification(_ notification: UILocalNotification)
```

## Parameters

- `notification`: The local notification object that you want to schedule. This object contains information about when to deliver the notification and what to do when that date occurs. The system keeps a copy of this object so you may release the object once it is scheduled.

## Discussion

Discussion Prior to scheduling any local notifications, you must call the registerUserNotificationSettings(_:) method to let the system know what types of alerts, if any, you plan to display to the user.
