Description

*Description:* When I set my app to index some content in order to use the new Spotlight Search feature, I got an error when I select an item in the search that should be open using my app, the error happens if I try to use Ti.App.getArguments() in some part of my app; code that I use for push notifications and deep linking features. *The Error:* This error happens if I try to access Ti.App.getArguments() from any point in the app:

*To reproduce:* 1) Insert Ti.App.getArguments into sample app in the alloy.js file https://github.com/appcelerator-developer-relations/appc-sample-appsearch/blob/master/app/alloy.js#L14 and run the app. 2) Close the app 3) Perform a search and open one item. 4) Whatch the app crash. *Relevant Environment data:*

[~apetkov] Here is the app.js containing only the relevant test case in js. Steps to test 1. Launch app and select Add item. This will add an item to spotlight search. 2. Kill app and relaunch by searching the term 'guitar' from spotlight search. You should see the continue activity details as an alert. 3. Now select Access Args, this should show the launch args as expected. In case to debug in Xcode, after step 2 xcode->debug->Attach to Process and select the app process. Do this before step 3.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
     backgroundColor: "White"
   });
    
   var addItem = Ti.UI.createButton({
     title: 'Add item',
     top: '35%'
   });
   
   var accessArgs = Ti.UI.createButton({
     title: 'Access Args',
     top: '50%'
   });
    
   addItem.addEventListener('click', function() {
     console.log("creating and adding item");
     var itemAttr = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItemAttributeSet({
       itemContentType: Ti.App.iOS.UTTYPE_AUDIO,
       title: 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps',
       artist: 'The Beatles',
       album: 'The Beatles (White Album)',
       musicalGenre: 'Rock',
       keywords: ['love', 'sleeping', 'floor', 'sweeping']
     });
   
     console.log("itemAttr:"+itemAttr);
   
     var item = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItem({
       uniqueIdentifier: 'beatles-white-album-lp-1-track-7',
       domainIdentifier: 'beatles-white-album',
       attributeSet: itemAttr
     });
   
     var indexer = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableIndex();
     indexer.addToDefaultSearchableIndex([item], function(e) {
       if (e.success) {
           alert('Kill app and now search for Guitar.');
       } else {
           alert('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(e.error));
       }
     });    
   
   });
   
   accessArgs.addEventListener('click', function() {
     printArgs();
   });
   
   Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('continueactivity', function(e) {
       // Not launched from Spotlight
       if (e.activityType !== 'com.apple.corespotlightitem') {
           return
       }
       var uniqueIdentifier = e.searchableItemActivityIdentifier;
       var title = e.title;
       alert('continueactivity: '+JSON.stringify(e));
   });
   
   var printArgs = function() {
     var args = Ti.App.getArguments();
     var argsStr = JSON.stringify(args)
     console.log("launchargs:"+argsStr);
     alert(argsStr);
   }
    
   win.add(addItem);
   win.add(accessArgs);
   win.open();

The PR posted above fixes the issue I linked to.

Closing ticket as fixed. While using the above test code, verified that the app does not crash after opening the app from spotlight search; after backgrounding and killing the app. Tested on: Appc CLI NPM: 4.2.7 Appc CLI Core: 5.4.0-36 Arrow: 1.8.2 SDK: 5.4.0.v20160727143921 Node: v4.4.7 OS: Mac OS X (10.11.6) Xcode: 7.3.1 Device: iphone 6 plus (9.1)
