@Dallas62 I’ve searched through lot of history and still struggling to handle, on iOS, notifications from a killed state.

I’ve seen a couple random things saying to disabled remote debugging and to build the product in release mode, strange that those would interfere with notifications but I did that.

Given my understanding of popInitialNotification, I thought things would just work out of the box. That is, onNotification would be called from a killed state. That isn’t happening.

So, I see popInitialNotification to false and added my own handler inside the top-most component with a useEffect(() => { PN.popInitialNotification(handler) }, []. That also doesn’t work.

I’ve tried some other things and started messing around with PNIOS.getInitialNotification with no luck. I don’t want to use an iOS only handler anyway though.

From the history of this problem, where would you advise that I look to get notification handling from killed state working on iOS/Android?

It’s working only from killed state, but yes for all kind of notifications
