Description
When you try and open an app from a universal link while the app is in the background or not open, the app will open and then crash (black screen) with no errors in the log. It works in Ti 7.5.1.GA. Does not work with Ti 8.0.0.GA or Ti 8.0.1.GA.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a test project (make the project name com.picsafe.med to simulate my app):
$ mkdir Temp
$ cd Temp
$ ti create
$ alloy new
2. in tiapp.xml add:
<ios>
...
<entitlements>
<dict>
<key>aps-environment</key>
<string>production</string> <!-- Either development or production -->
</dict>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key>
<array>
<string>applinks:my.picsafe.com</string>
<string>webcredentials:my.picsafe.com</string>
</array>
</dict>
</entitlements>
<ios>
...
<plist>

<key>NSUserActivityTypes</key>

<string>com.picsafe.med.universalLink</string>
</array>
</dict>

<string>com.picsafe.med</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>picsafe</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
app/controllers/index.js:
Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener("continueactivity", function(e) {
if (e.activityType === "NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb") {
console.log("PicSafe has been opened from a URL:", e.webpageURL);
}
// console.log("continueactivity", JSON.stringify(Ti.App.getArguments()));
});
$.win.addEventListener("open", function() {
console.log("PicSafe has been opened.");
});
The same happens to me too. Instead of the black screen it falls out into the springboard.
I just tested by launching my app from a "spotlight".activity which also triggers "continueacitivity" and the app also crashed upon resuming.
Try to use 8_1_X (ti sdk install -b 8_1_X) which fixes this.
8_1_X does fix it. Thanks. (Wish I had thought to try that 6 hours of testing earlier!!!)
[~rpl] can you confirm it also is fixed for you with 8.1?
yes fixed!
This one is fixed for me too, but I discovered that the app still crashes when you try to open a file that is linked to the app from email. We are sending reports in email and the app is registered to handle them. When you click on the report the app crashes on Ti.App.getArguments() call with:
Could you point us to the commit that fixed that? What is the estimated release date of 8.1.0?
According to my tests with 8_1_X, app resumes when in background using universal links, but when the app is not running and is launched by universal link, I get the following error and app is stuck on splash screen
