I am able to register my device and send a push notification (sandbox
cert), but when the alert launches my app it immediately crashes ...
any ideas?

Note: this happens whether I use the default alert and click "View",
or the no-button alert (which launches the app by default).

Thanks in advance!

Alright, never mind! I think I answered my own question there...

The thing is APNs are received in two ways, depending in the application
state, right... So, on the application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
there's a code I'm not sure why it's there for, that was causing the crash:

self.invokeString = [url absoluteString];

Now, digging a little deeper and google came up with this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7000438/ios-push-notification-term...

Which made me change this chunk of code:

 NSArray *keyArray = [launchOptions allKeys];

if ([launchOptions objectForKey:[keyArray objectAtIndex:0]]!=nil)

{

NSURL *url = [launchOptions objectForKey:[keyArray objectAtIndex:0]];

self.invokeString = [url absoluteString];

NSLog(@"Shoes launchOptions = %@",url);

To this:

NSArray *keyArray = [launchOptions allKeys];

if ([launchOptions objectForKey:[keyArray objectAtIndex:0]]!=nil)

{

NSURL *url = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey];

 if (url)

{

self.invokeString = [url absoluteString];

NSLog(@"listingApp launchOptions = %@", url);

  }

And it's all working, fine and dandy. Now, why that code was there for in
the way it was and why is it not documented that if you receive your
notifications while the app isn't loaded nor in the background, options get
received thru other handler? And how would I go about calling
didReceiveRemoteNotification from there, so I don't have to duplicate the
code in both handlers?

I hope this helps someone out there and if you could let me know any of the
above, I greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!
