iOS8 - Asking for remote push notifications

Two questions about changes in iOS8 for the user to accept push notifications (as well as notifications such as badges and so).

1) I am using the current approach which is working fine both on iOS7 and iOS8

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue]>= 8.0) {

    UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge
                                                                                         |UIUserNotificationTypeSound
                                                                                         |UIUserNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];

} else {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
     (UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}

This is completely working as push and alert are working and I got the token in the didRegister delegate method, but I am never asked with a pop-up as it used to be the case. Even if I completely delete the app from my phone? Why that? Does the OS keep in memory privacy settings for apps even if they have been deleted ?

2) I saw some people suggesting to ask for remote notifications in the following delegate

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{

    NSLog(@"registered for notifications settings %@",notificationSettings);

    //register to receive notifications
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
} 

Why that ?
