iOS 8 enabled device not receiving PUSH notifications after code update

The way to register for push notifications has been changed in iOS 8:
Below is the code for all versions till iOS 9:

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];

}
else
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
     (UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];
}

In case you want to check whether push notifications are enabled or not use below code:

- (BOOL) pushNotificationOnOrOff
{
    if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications)]) {
        return ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications]);
    } else {
        UIRemoteNotificationType types = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes];
        return (types & UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert);
    }
}

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application   didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:   (UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
    //register to receive notifications
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString   *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler
{
    //handle the actions
    if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"declineAction"]){
    }
    else if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"answerAction"]){
    }
}
#endif

Above code will run on Xcode 6+ only…
