Using date with swift, check if it's a new month
0
I'm currently working on an app that I would like to notify the user and reset an aspect of the app once a new month begins. This reset needs to repeats every time the month changes.
Using Swift and have installed the DateToolsSwift pod.
What's the best way to get this to work

@fuzz I was thinking of using userDefaults every time the app launches to check the current date with the last saved date and if the month is different then action the reset on the app. But I prefer not to use user defaults, so hoping there was a better way.

Why do you not want to useUserDefaults? You want to save a little piece of state, and that API is perfect for that. Manually persisting a file somewhere is another alternative, you could bring big guns that are not worth it for this task (Core Data), etc.

@gg11 I suggest you give that a go and if you're having trouble implementing it then you can always edit your question and we can help you with that.
