iOS App crashes when launched from local notification - ios

Question

I have set up a daily reminder local notification for my app. It works great when the app is in the background. However, when the app is closed/not running, when the user taps LAUNCH in the notification, the app launches the main screen, then goes back to the home screen.
I have tried numerous code solutions on here, most involvingsomething along these lines:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
UILocalNotification *notification = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (notification) {
// handle your notification here.
}
}
But no matter where I put this, the app launches but now turns to black.
Here is my code, can anyone help me figure out what to do here?
Please not, I am using Dreamweaver/phonegap to build the app.

Answer 1

For local notification,you need to add following things in :
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(UIApplication *)application
{
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif {
}

Answer 2

As it turns out...
I'm not sure why it was crashing, but in the event anyone else having this problem comes across this, the notification will launch the app when your build for relase....it just doesnt appear to work when it's built/run for debug or another state.
So when you run, run for RELEASE and it should work just fine!
