react-native-push-notification: onNotification not being called when app was killed on iOS

Bug

I am sending local notifications using react-native-background-fetch. This works good. When the user clicks on a notification I redirect him to a certain screen. This always works in Android. For iOS it is working when the app is in foreground or background. When the app was killed and the user clicks on a notification, the app launches but the onNotification handler is not being called. I call PushNotification.configure from index.js, so timing should not be the issue.

I followed the fix here to get onNotification to work in foreground and background.

Hi Friends, i have found solution. Please check below methods.

Add this code in below file. AppDelegate.m

(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { …

if (launchOptions != nil) { NSDictionary* userInfo = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey]; if (userInfo != nil) { [self performSelector:@selector(callNotification:) withObject: userInfo afterDelay:10]; } }

… }

create new file methods in same class…

-(void) callNotification: (NSDictionary*) userInfo { [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo]; }

Modify below File from framework RNCPushNotificationIOS.m

(void)handleRemoteNotificationReceived:(NSNotification *)notification { … remoteNotification[@“notificationData”] = notification.userInfo[@“notification”]; … }

Update above line on this methods.

Now Check, you will data on onNotification method…

Hope this work for you…

Hi, The behavior of iOS depends on when you put in AppDelegate, Check the iOS repository for this.
