How to set repeat UILocal Notifications in weekday pick list

I implemented UILocal Notification using the following link

http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/07/31/adding-local-notifications-with-ios-4.html

And I changed it to set snooze alerts every day using

//To set the repeat notification
            notif.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit;

For example, ex Every day at 10.00

But my requirement is the user’s requirement to set a notification on certain days of the week (Monday to Saturday)

why, because the user may have weekly holidays, such as (Saturday and Sunday) / Friday - Sunday) / Some other days ..

on the week offs he shouldn't fire the notifications.

Thus, we allow the user to set the selected working days, and notifications will be set only on these days. When the user sets the notification.

For ex:

we have a list of days of the week Sun, MOn, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Saturday

for these users selects Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. and set to 10Am

Then a notification will be triggered every day 10.AM these days.

The API for UILocalNotification is very limited in this regard - you will have to manually schedule 4 events that repeat weekly on the days that the user selects.

An example of scheduling a snooze timer on Monday would look like this:

NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
dateComponents.weekday = 2; // sunday = 1 ... saturday = 7
dateComponents.hour    = 10;

UILocalNotification *notification = //...
notification.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
notification.fireDate       = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComponents];

NSDateComponents
