How to handle launch options in Swift 3 when a notification is tapped? Getting syntax problems

Apple made plenty of changes in Swift 3 and this one of them.

Edit: This works for Swift 4 as well.

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    //Launched from push notification
    let remoteNotif = launchOptions?[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey.remoteNotification] as? [String: Any]
    if remoteNotif != nil {
        let aps = remoteNotif!["aps"] as? [String:AnyObject]
        NSLog("\n Custom: \(String(describing: aps))")
    }
    else {
        NSLog("//////////////////////////Normal launch")
    }
}

Swift 5:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    //Launched from push notification
    guard let options = launchOptions,
        let remoteNotif = options[UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey.remoteNotification] as? [String: Any]
        else {
            return
    }
    let aps = remoteNotif["aps"] as? [String: Any]
    NSLog("\n Custom: \(String(describing: aps))")
    
    handleRemoteNotification(remoteNotif)
}

And for more on LaunchOptionsKey read Apple's documentation.


So it turned out the whole method signature has changed and when I implemented the new signature things worked just fine. Below is the code.

new didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {



//and then 
 if launchOptions?[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey.remoteNotification] != nil {


// Do what you want to happen when a remote notification is tapped.


}

}

Hope this helps.


Swift 4

// Check if launched from the remote notification and application is close
 if let remoteNotification = launchOptions?[.remoteNotification] as?  [AnyHashable : Any] {
            // Do what you want to happen when a remote notification is tapped.
            let aps = remoteNotification["aps" as String] as? [String:AnyObject]
            let apsString =  String(describing: aps)
            debugPrint("\n last incoming aps: \(apsString)")
    }
