Use when working with UNUserNotificationCenter, registering for remote notifications, handling notification payloads, setting up notification categories and actions, creating rich notification content, or debugging notification delivery. Also use when working with alerts, badges, sounds, background pushes, or user notification permissions in Swift apps.
