userInteraction always returns true on iOS

Hi guys,

I’m facing an issue since few days that I don’t understand.

Here is the content of the notification I’m pushing via AWS SNS:

{
"APNS_SANDBOX":"{\"aps\":{\"alert\":{\"title\":\"My App\", \"body\":\"Body notif\",\"payload\":{\"type\":\"new_post\"}},\"sound\":\"default\", \"content-available\":\"1\"}}"
}

onNotification is triggered when I receive the notification and a second time when I open the notification. Which is the expected behaviour.

foreground is always false, which is the expected behaviour when the app is on background or when I click on the notification. It’s true when the app is on foreground.

The problem is when I want to check userInteraction. The value is always true wether I receive the notification or click on it.

I tried different scenario but userInteraction is always true.

Is it normal? Am I the only one having this behaviour? If someone has an idea on what I’m doing wrong, I would love to hear from him.

Thanks for your help.

From this post I was able to trigger the method onNotification only when user taps on notification, by checking that the app state is inactive (which is not true when notification is received but not tapped). You just need to update your AppDelegate.m as follows:

If you need to run jobs even when user does not tap the notification you might want to add a didReceiveRemoteNotification method with a third parameter userTapped (based on applicationState) in RCTPushNotificationManager.m library. Then you would just have to branch it in the react native lib to fix what happens line 220 in https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/blob/master/index.js

I have the same problem too. The problem lies on https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/blob/master/index.js line 220

if the notification is received in background, the userInteraction will always be true
