How to make notification clicks on apple devices redirect to links?

Question

I am successfully able to send APNs to apple devices. I have coded up my app in react native. When someone clicks on the notification, I want to redirect them to a deep link I have configured my app to recognise - ne://page/id via deep linking, I don't need help with that. How do I redirect a notification click to a link ?

I have tried everything from my end. I looked at the official documentation here - it saysn nothing about urls and redirection - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/generating_a_remote_notification

Moreover, I have using the apn-node library to send notifications via my server. Their notification docs have no url option, just something called urlArgs.

Answer 1

• set URL in the payload object of node-apn like this:

notification.payload = {
  url: "https://www.google.com"
}

• parse the URL from the userInfo object in didReceiveRemoteNotification delegate method of AppDelegate

• Open the URL in an in-App WebView or Safari
