I should start this article with a disclaimer, it based on iOS 13, Swift 5 and Xcode 11.x. If you reading this and those numbers look dated, be forewarned.

I should also warn you that notifications and iCloud code, involve Apple’s infrastructure which means you will need an Apple Developers account to use them.

Finally I need say I already cover iOS notifications in another series, for which the I link in here. I’ll be using the code developed with it hence the mention.
