Product:iOS+SDK Product Version:10.3
Classification:User Notifications Reproducible:Always
 
Area:
UserNotifications Framework

Summary:
UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey is deprecated in favour of the new User Notifications framework. We have adopted this framework in our app, but we still need to keep track of launch reasons so that we can make decisions based on that. 

For example, if our app is launched in the background to perform an interactive notification action, we don’t want to trigger a content refresh over the network, but we would want to do that in some other cases where the app is launched in the background.

Steps to Reproduce:
UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey is deprecated in the  UIApplication.h header file.

Expected Results:
There should be a way to detect (in applicationDidFinishLaunching) why the app launched.

Actual Results:
There’s no non-deprecated way to know at launch-time why the app launched if it launched from a notification action.

Version:
iOS 10.3
