I have an the app when notification is fired i get a notification bar when the app is in background ,when i tap on that bar it navigates into tableview of the notification set . When i quit the app from background i am receiving notification but when tap on the notification bar the app is getting crashed since its not getting indexpath of the tableview.
When the app is quit in background and reloading the app should enter didfinishlaunching.
In appDidFinishLaunching i am calling the method which navigates into tableview
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.viewController = [[PPViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil] ;
UILocalNotification *notification = [launchOptions objectForKey: UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (notification)
{
int remedyID = [[notification.userInfo objectForKey:kRemindMeNotificationRemedyIDKey] intValue];
NSDictionary *reminderDetails =[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:notification.userInfo,#"kRemindMeNotificationDataKey",[NSNumber numberWithInt:remedyID],kRemindMeNotificationRemedyIDKey,nil];
[_viewController goToReminder:reminderDetails showNotification:YES];
}
[application setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
self.viewController = [[PPViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PPViewController" bundle:nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
**This is the code which navigates into tableview in another viewcontroller**
- (void)goToReminder:(NSMutableDictionary *)reminderDictionary showNotification:(BOOL)shouldShowNotification
{
NSIndexPath *selectedSymptIP = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:selectedSymptomIndex inSection:keyIndexNumber];
[self tableView:symptomsTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:selectedSymptIP];
}
When you quit the app and your app starts again, your viewController is not yet set up. When launching from a notification, you need to check if you are resuming from the background, or launching normally.
Look at applicationWillEnterForeground and applicationDidBecomeActive in the UIApplicationDelegate protocol reference for how to handle resuming your app from various states.

I was able to solve the problem ..the crash was occurring since wrong xib file was loaded .

I'm using my appDelegate's applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning method to dump some high resource objects. When the app starts back up, rather than trying to reload just those objects and return the user to his last page, I would like just to restart the app from the top (from the main page, the app only goes one level deep, so this is totally acceptable to us).
Here's my paltry attempt, but it was an abject failure. It got close, but I ended up introducing some problems that resulted in an actual memory dump and app crash.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.viewController = [[SplashScreenViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SplashScreenViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navcon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navcon;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
//For testing purposes only
self.lowMemoryWarning = TRUE;
NSLog(#"app did enter background");
}
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
NSLog(#"app will enter foreground");
if (self.lowMemoryWarning) {
NSLog(#"recovering from low memory warning");
self.window.rootViewController = nil;
UINavigationController *navcon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navcon;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
}
What's the best approach for doing something like this? Is there maybe a simple trick that I don't know about?
Thank you!
Do you mean you want the app to restart each time it started (or enter foreground) ? If yes, maybe you can just set the app to not support multi tasking

Ah sorry, I didn't know the nature of your application, if some process need to be run on the background then this method is no go.
I read your comment above about the UIActivityIndicator + loading the certain objects back on the current view after app enter foreground. Maybe this thread can help you, Finding the current view when application enter foreground. IOS
I have implemented iOS 6 API for state saving, it works - after I quit the app and launch back in for some milliseconds the restored view controller fly in, but then it's replaced by the main view controller I display at launch.
I'm setting every time the app launch the root view of the main window, so this must be the issue.
Here is my code:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[self commonInitializationLaunching:launchOptions];
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[self commonInitializationLaunching:launchOptions];
return YES;
}
- (void)commonInitializationLaunching:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
static NSString *const kKeychainItemName = #"OAuthGoogleReader";
self.viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
GTMOAuth2Authentication *auth;
auth = [GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch authForGoogleFromKeychainForName:kKeychainItemName
clientID:kClientID
clientSecret:kClientSecret];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
BOOL isSignedIn = [auth canAuthorize];
if (isSignedIn) {
NSLog(#"Signed");
}else{
NSString *scope = #"https://www.google.com/reader/api/";
GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch *viewController;
viewController = [[GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch alloc] initWithScope:scope
clientID:kClientID
clientSecret:kClientSecret
keychainItemName:kKeychainItemName
delegate:self
finishedSelector:#selector(viewController:finishedWithAuth:error:)];
[self.navController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
// self.window.rootViewController = viewController;
}
});
}
You can see that in -(void)commonInitializationLaunching:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
I'm setting my window's root view. I don't know what to put in there. Perhaps check if there is saved state and then load this method? But how?
Thanks!
Here is what I've tried following Rob's advice:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
if (!self.isRestored) {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
}
[self commonInitializationLaunching:launchOptions];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
with nothing in willFinishLaunching...
I also removed by window code from my commonInitializationLaunching method.
Storyboards will do most of the heavy lifting for you, such as restoring the window. Using code, however, will not restore the window. You will need to hold on to your root view controller using the encoder. Your code will look something like this:
NSString * const AppDelegateRootVCKey = #"AppDelegateRootVCKey";
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application willEncodeRestorableStateWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
[coder encodeObject:self.window.rootViewController forKey:AppDelegateRootVCKey];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didDecodeRestorableStateWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
// Grabs the preserved root view controller.
UIViewController * vc = [coder decodeObjectForKey:AppDelegateRootVCKey];
if (vc) {
UIWindow * window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
window.rootViewController = vc;
window.restorationIdentifier = NSStringFromClass([window class]);
// The green color is just to make it obvious if our view didn't load properly.
// It can be removed when you are finished debugging.
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
self.window = window;
}
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
if (!self.window) {
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// The blue color is just to make it obvious if our view didn't load properly.
// It can be removed when you are finished debugging.
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
UIViewController *root = // However you create your root.
window.rootViewController = root;
window.restorationIdentifier = NSStringFromClass([window class]);
self.window = window;
}
[self commonInitializationLaunching:launchOptions];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Another gotcha to watch out for is to make sure that your UINavigationControllers and UITabBarControllers have restoration identifiers.
State restoration is generally integrated with storyboards. If you're using a storyboard, you should not be creating your own window, view controllers, etc. You should let the storyboard do this for you. What's happening is that the storyboard is doing all the state restoration, and then you're creating a new window and laying it on top of all that. If that's the case, you're probably creating two copies of your UI on every launch. You're just not noticing it.
If you are constructing your entire interface in code (not a recommended approach, but it does work), then you need to determine whether state restoration happened before creating your UI. This is fairly simple:
In your commonInitializationLaunching:, initialize only non-UI elements (things that wouldn't ever be in state-preservation). This is the place to handle things that the UI elements might rely on during state restoration. You don't have any of these in your current code.
In application:didDecodeRestorableState:, set an app delegate ivar to indicate that state was restored.
In application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, after running commonInitializationLaunching:, check your ivar. If state wasn't restored, create a UI.
Do remember that the commonInitializationLaunching: pattern only exists for backward compatibility with iOS 5. If you don't need that, then just put non-UI in willFinish and UI in didFinish (if state wasn't restored).
Please tell me can I use a time while application is loading (while splash screen is being showed) to perform some background operations? (I need to call CLLocationManager and update current location) If I'm allowed to do it please tell me where to put a code.
It is not possible to perform anything while real splash screen is shown.
Your actions starts in
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
method which is executed when splash screen removed.
If you want to perform some time-cost operation before showing user interface, your only options is show manually "fake" splash screen during this time. It can be image or anything else e.g. activity indicator or animation. If you use same image that used for splash screen,
user will see no difference, it will look like splash screen will remain some seconds longer for him, but you will already have your data loaded.
In this case your app delegate may be like this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.viewController = [[ViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"FakeSplashViewController" bundle:nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self performSelectorInBackground: #selector(someLongOperation) withObject: nil];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
- (void) someLongOperation{
//doing something
//...
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(atLastLoadGUI) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
}
- (void) atLastLoadGUI{
// start GUI
}
So i'm trying to use this method to load a certain theme based on what the user chose in the settings bundle. When I insert NSLog it will load the default them (Modern Theme), but it will never change to the Pink Theme.
Is this method loaded every time the app is launched, even if the app is still running in the background.
Otherwise, where else could I do this, if I want to use the settings bundle.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
NSDictionary *userDefaultsDefaults = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: #"Modern Theme", #"theme", nil];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:userDefaultsDefaults];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
theme =[defaults objectForKey:#"theme"];
NSLog(#"%#", theme);
if ([theme isEqualToString:#"Modern Theme"]) {
viewController = [[viewTwo alloc] initWithNibName:#"viewTwo" bundle:nil];
}
else {
viewController = [[viewOne alloc] initWithNibName:#"viewOne" bundle:nil];
}
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Have you tried putting your code in applicationDidBecomeActive:? That one is guaranteed to be called whether on the initial launch or resuming from the background.
Reference docs.
The method
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application
is fired when the app is resumed from the background.
I'd nearly load the theme in the ViewController's
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
method.
I receive a remote notification and according to the type of notification, change navigation controller's view controllers.
It all works fine when the app is in the foreground, or when the app is in the background but not completely closed (from multi-tasking bar).
But, when the app is closed, and receives a remote notification it crashes as soon as it opens. Am I doing wrong with the way I am setting up the ViewControllers?
Here's some code.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary
*)launchOptions {
// Push required screens into navigation controller
UILocalNotification *remoteNotif = [launchOptions objectForKey: UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
//Accept push notification when app is not open
if (remoteNotif) {
[self handleRemoteNotification:application userInfo:remoteNotif.userInfo];
return YES;
}
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
-(void) handleRemoteNotification:(UIApplication *)application userInfo:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [NSMutableArray array];
[viewControllers addObject:driverWaitViewController];
[viewControllers addObject:newJobsViewController];
[navigationController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
}
I got this resolved, and it has nothing to do with view controllers, as I thought.
The issue was in the following lines. I was sending in remoteNotif.userInfo rather than remoteNotif itself. Also, remoteNotif is obviously not of type UILocalNotification. It is a NSDictionary object.
Before
UILocalNotification *remoteNotif = [launchOptions objectForKey: UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
[self handleRemoteNotification:application userInfo:remoteNotif.userInfo];
Should be
NSDictionary *remoteNotif = [launchOptions objectForKey: UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
[self handleRemoteNotification:application userInfo:remoteNotif];
if you close the app which start from xcode debug mode, and when the app start with push notification(closed app) if the your phone connected to mac(still your phone in debug mode with xcode) it will be crash. test this senario with unplugged phone.
You aren't properly initializing your application when receiving a notification.
Change the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method to this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions (NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Push required screens into navigation controller
NSDictionary *notif= [launchOptions objectForKey: UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
//Accept push notification when app is not open
if (notif) {
[self handleRemoteNotification:application userInfo:notif];
}
return YES;
}
