Onesignal-ios-sdk: kOSSettingsKeyInAppLaunchURL set to false not working

[rodrigoreis22]

I'm using native iOS sdk and i'm setting the property kOSSettingsKeyInAppLaunchURL to false.. but it doesn't seem to have any effect as the Safari browser is being open when I click on the notification.
I'm using pod version OneSignal (2.5.2)

@rodrigoreis22 Setting kOSSettingsKeyInAppLaunchURL to false will launch Safari when a launch URL is set on the notification. A WebView is shown in app by default if this isn't set.

If you are targeting web push users you will need to send 2 notifications. One with a URL set to web push users. And another to iOS users without a URL set.

[rodrigoreis22]

@jkasten2 oh really do I need 2 notifications just because of this? Is there a way to configure it to ignore any launchUrl on iOS? Android SDK doesn't have this behavior...
One of the key things I use OneSignal is that I can send push to multiple platforms with just one API call...

[jkasten2]

@rodrigoreis22 Correct for iOS. For Android I am guessing you are using the AndroidManifest.xml below to start your own Activity?

<meta-data android:name="com.onesignal.NotificationOpened.DEFAULT" android:value="DISABLE" />

We are looking to not requiring 2 different notifications in this case in the future.

[rodrigoreis22]

@jkasten2 yes we use that meta-data tag on our Android app. the kOSSettingsKeyInAppLaunchURL should be an enum: .none, .safari, .inApp . maybe the property name should be kOSSettingsKeyLaunchURLMode

[jkasten2]

@rodrigoreis22 Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider this as well as possibly providing more options on the REST API and dashboard to handle this scenario better.

[rodrigoreis22]

@jkasten2 great. thanks.

@jkasten2 are you planning to release this any time soon ?

Hi there! I think it's a great idea from @rodrigoreis22 !
Any progress on this small CR?

[Nightsd01]

@iDevo funny you mention this - we actually just started working on a fix for this the other day. I will re-open this issue so that I remember to update everyone when the improvement is released

Fortunately the solution is even more flexible than adding a none case to kOSSettingsKeyInAppLaunchURL. I will keep you posted.

[jkasten2]

We have added a web_url option you can set instead of url if you only want to open a page for your web push devices and not effect your app users. Currently this is only available for notifications sent through the REST API.

Will this feature be on the Dashboard in the future? Thank you!

Can I ignore the launchURL in the latest SDK?

[serbadea]

I'm using OneSignal WordPress plugin so I will have a launchURL. Ca I ignore it in the application, meaning to prevent opening WebView or Safari? I have seen that in the current SDK kOSSettingsKeyInAppLaunchURL is still a boolean.
