I am trying to open a url that is passed in a push notification in ios 10. So far I haven't found a way to open a the url without opening the app. Is there a way to open urls received in a push notification without opening the app?
I have found a work-around to open the url (the work-around works for ios <10), but then again the app opens up first.
Update:
I've noticed that for the device (iOS 10.0) The following mentohds get involked application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken userNotificationCenter:willPresentNotification: userNotificationCenter:didReceiveNotificationResponse:
But -application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler: and -application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: aren't called.
I'm new to ios and this is how far I have gotten:
AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <UserNotifications/UserNotifications.h>
@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate,UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
@end
AppDelegate.m
#import "AppDelegate.h"
@interface AppDelegate ()
@end
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 10)
{
UNUserNotificationCenter * notificationCenter = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter];
notificationCenter.delegate = self;
[notificationCenter requestAuthorizationWithOptions:UNAuthorizationOptionAlert|UNAuthorizationOptionBadge|UNAuthorizationOptionSound completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * error)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];

}];
