Can IOS push notifications open another app via its URL scheme (ie. SOMEAPP://someUrlScheme)?
I've looked through the documentation but haven't seen any mention of this.
Directly from the notification bar I think it is not possible, but you can handle notification received event show a popup and launch another app on click event of that popup

There is several situations when receiving a remote notification:
app is not launched at all
app is foreground
app is background
what I am looking for is that user haven't click the notification to launch or active the app. can we catch the receiving and do some thing in such three situation?
I know 2 is ok, how about 1 and 3, and how to do it? thx a lot.
somebody mentions widget or NotificationService? is it possible?
You can try adding a Notification Service Extension to your app.
iOS will launch your extension (NOT your app) in background when it receives a push notification. Obviously what you can do inside an extension is fairly limited.
There are two ways to be notified when your app moves to the background: implement the applicationWillResignActive() method in your app delegate, or register for the UIApplication.willResignActiveNotification notification anywhere in your app. This particular notification is sent as soon as your app loses focus, meaning that it's triggered when the user taps the home button once (to return to the home screen) or double taps the home button (to enter multi-tasking).
I have a push notification, and I want to get the content of the push notification when I click the push notification to run the application. What should I do?
The didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method is called automatically while pressing the notification banner opens your application (If its not already opened). See this for more.
What I think you need is to bridge between RN code and iOS native code (ObjC or swift) on the notification press action. This article might help
I am learning IOS and could not find that in a messaging app how to get the alert (popup box on screen and NOT a banner on top) for a message received (like in whatsapp or a built in messaging app).
Also, is it possible to get the alert if the app is open (like in whatsapp if we are using whatsapp then wee do not receive any pop up or banner for the message received).
Thanks in advance
If you want to receive popups in opened app you should create custom view. Native alerts about push notifications shown only if app in background or suspended and it's appearance customised by device settings
For example, you could use this library for popup box notifications or this for banner style
The iOS app I'm working on for a client currently only uses Apple Watch for notifications.
When a local notification fires while the user's phone is locked, it displays the notification on the phone. The user can dismiss the notification or click on one of the action buttons on it.
In either case, I want to dismiss the watch app and go back to whatever state it was in (back to the watch desktop, or springboard, or whatever it's called.) I don't want to present the UI for the watch app, since there isn't one, at least not yet. I don't know if my client is going to define a watch app UI or not.
As it is now, once the user clicks the dismiss button or an action button on the notification, the user is left with a stupid-looking placeholder watch app that simply has a button called "button" (which I added for testing.)
I'm afraid that you cannot change this. iOS decides which device the notification is shown on and you have no control over this.
If the iPhone is locked then iOS assumes that you are using your watch and will deliver the notification to it, however if your iPhone is unlocked it tends to deliver to notification to the iPhone.
When my app is notify by local notification then without click on notification i want to open an UIAlertView. Is this possible for IOS?
I am attaching screenshot for detail understanding.
With iOS8 you can display actions for the user to choose from in the form of buttons. These buttons can launch your app in the background to perform some task or they can launch your app into the foreground as you can do with the notifications available in older versions of iOS.
You can't, however, display a UITextField for the user to enter data.
