I’m using the new AlarmKit framework to build a Swift app that lets users schedule multiple repeating alarms.
The goal is to allow users to stop all alarms for today if they wake up early, but the alarms should still ring on their scheduled days in the future (for example, every Monday).
What I tried: When the user chooses to stop alarms for today, I delete all alarms and re-add them. However, this doesn’t work as expected.
If today is Monday and I delete and re-add the alarm with .weekday = .monday, it still rings today. That means re-adding the alarm doesn’t skip today’s instance, even though it’s repeating.
What I want to achieve: Skip or suppress today’s alarms when the user stops them manually
Keep the same alarms active for their scheduled days in the future
Questions: Is there a way in AlarmKit to prevent a repeating alarm from ringing today if it was just re-added or there are better alternatives to this problem?
Is the only workaround to delay re-adding until after today’s alarms would have fired?
What is the best approach to achieve this?
