handleOpenURL not firing on iOS cold start #93

dustinblanchard · 2015-06-24T19:42:36Z

I'm on Cordova 3.8.0 and my handleOpenURL function is not firing on a cold start of the app. It works fine if the app is already open, and works great on Android.

I'm assuming it's related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7606.

arulapj · 2015-06-26T13:52:20Z

tried to change the version to 3.6.3, still its not working on IOS.

xale76 · 2015-06-27T09:57:23Z

have you found a solution? I have the same problem

Exilz · 2015-07-07T13:08:16Z

Same problem here on Android 5.1 and possibly lower versions too.

benjick · 2015-07-09T14:28:38Z

Same with Android 5.0.1

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-07-09T15:21:24Z

If anyone can reproduce this problem with a vanilla cli generated project then I'd be more than happy to take a look. With something like Meteor in the mix you're on your own.

alexszilagyi · 2015-07-16T12:35:29Z

I'm having the same issue with Ionic framework, tried different tips that I've found on web but none of them are working; my scenario throws this error: Failed to load webpage with error: Frame load interrupted.

martindrapeau · 2015-08-27T11:40:54Z

I am using cordova 4.0.0-dev and still have this issue. Any progress?

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-08-27T14:27:25Z

@martindrapeau see my comment of July 9th. That offer still stands.

martindrapeau · 2015-08-27T14:41:22Z

Fair enough - I think we are all using frameworks and wrappers. Cocoon.io in my case. I will see what I can do and get back to you...

possan · 2015-09-11T14:15:31Z

As usual, adding a little delay solves the problem, at least for me...

function handleOpenURL(url) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        actuallyHandleOpenURL(url);
    }, 500);
}

function actuallyHandleOpenURL(url) {
...
}

(i'm on angular 1.3.13 / ionic 1.0.1 / react 0.13.3, lots' of 3's there...)

xale76 · 2015-09-21T14:43:12Z

still not working @possan
is there any solution?

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-09-21T14:50:17Z

What's your setup like? The more details the better.

xale76 · 2015-09-21T14:51:59Z

I don't understand the question, sorry eddy :(

I build with Intel XDK cordova solution. It work for android, and not for iOS when the app is shut. Works when the app in in background. Setup is ipa

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-09-21T14:57:45Z

@xale76 You're describing the symptoms of an issue in Cordova-iOS 3.7.0 - which version are you using?

xale76 · 2015-09-21T15:03:29Z

cordova cli?
4.1.2

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-09-21T15:17:04Z

No Cordova-iOS, please check it and move to anything else than 3.7.0.

xale76 · 2015-09-21T15:17:33Z

where I can find this information?

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-09-21T15:22:04Z

I don't use XDK and please don't mistake me for Google :)

vhuerta · 2015-10-12T22:52:30Z

Same problem, someone fixed it?

vhuerta · 2015-10-13T15:31:27Z

i got the same problem, someone solved it?

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-10-13T15:33:02Z

@vhuerta thanks for asking twice. What version of cordova-ios are you on? Not cordova-cli.

vhuerta · 2015-10-13T15:50:45Z

Im using the 3.9.1 version

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-10-13T15:53:56Z

Can you share your code with me perhaps?

vhuerta · 2015-10-13T16:00:41Z

sure there is, im using Meteor but basically when i open the app from cold always im getting the index page

window.handleOpenURL = function handleOpenURL(url) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        if(Meteor.isCordova) {
            var host = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host;
            if(url.indexOf('?external')) {
                Router.go(url.replace('saxmovil://', ''));
            }
        }
    }, 500);
};

EddyVerbruggen · 2015-10-13T16:08:45Z

Ah Meteor again. Anything in the adb log or js console?

Alexintosh · 2015-10-27T11:30:09Z

Setting a 500 timeout worked for me.

mmBs · 2015-11-02T14:18:49Z

setTimeout does not work for me too. Does anybody have a different solution?

Exilz · 2015-11-02T15:23:20Z

@mmBs here is my modified meteor_cordova_loader.
I put this in my-meteor-project/cordova-build-override/www/meteor_cordova_loader.js

https://gist.github.com/Exilz/3d50cf7614b982157faa

Cold start works like a charm on Android/iOS regardless of versions and phone's swiftness since it doesn't depend on timeout.

I guess it's quite risky for Meteor, though...

mmBs · 2015-11-02T15:28:44Z

@Exilz thanks for that. I will try to adapt this approach to my implementation - i use backbone.js

jschonenberg · 2015-11-04T13:07:02Z

I also HAD problems with handleOpenURL not being called on cold start. It worked fine on the iOS simulator but not on the actual device.

In my case I solved it by placing my handleOpenURL()-implementation in a script-element inside the body. Like so:

<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function handleOpenURL(url) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                alert(url);
            }, 0);
        }
    </script>

    <!-- other html -->
</body>

On rare occasions it still doesn't work but I haven't been able to reproduce those bugs yet...
This issue can also be merged with #2 imho.

(Oh, and @EddyVerbruggen, thanks for this awesome plugin!)

jschonenberg · 2015-11-04T18:13:57Z

Applying this fix from @easym0de seems to fix the problem completely: #2 (comment)

Could this get implemented? Adding the used URL as a global variable seems like a decent fallback (or even default!). In contrary to the openURL-function you can actually rely on the window being defined.

alexspeller · 2016-01-08T00:27:40Z

Nothing here worked for me, but then I deleted this line and everything started working properly

It seems like the initial cold start handler calls too early but it resets the url to nil, so when the warm start handler is called afterwards there is no url. Not sure if this is a good solution or not but it works every time for both cold start and warm start

wudongyang · 2016-01-15T11:54:05Z

Nothing here worked for me too.

I fixed it with call the HandleOpenURLNotification after 0.5s in application:openUrl
It works for me now.

[self performSelector:@selector(delayHandleOpenUrlNotification:) withObject:url afterDelay:0.5f];

-(void)delayHandleOpenUrlNotification:(NSURL*)url
{
    // all plugins will get the notification, and their handlers will be called
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotification:[NSNotification notificationWithName:CDVPluginHandleOpenURLNotification object:url]];
}

lorensr · 2016-01-20T21:47:39Z

Same happening to me on Cordova iOS 3.9. I imagine this would be fixed if getLastIntent was implemented for iOS (it was added in #126 as Android-only).

…#93 (comment)

northkode · 2016-07-01T00:43:17Z

happens to me too.. cold start does not fire.. running ios 3.9.1 and straight up cordova build no frameworks other then my own js framework for loading views.

could this be related to the fact that i am using the wkwebview plugin? warm start works.. cold start no go

srameshr · 2016-10-13T18:41:58Z

Me on IOS 4. Cold start does not seem to work.

I am using Ember and have found something interesting. I was not able to trigger the handleOpenURL method on a cold boot for the life of me. I created a blank ember app with ember-cordova and nothing. Then I created a blank cordova app and sure enough it works. So now I have discovered that when the app is being served locally (ember cdv:serve) the event will never trigger on a cold boot. But if you build the app with (ember cdv:build) and then run it, the event does trigger. So I am not entirely sure what the difference is or why this works, but thought I would share. If you are not using ember but still serving your app on your local machine somehow, this might be why you can't trigger that event.
